BEFORE STARTING THE MOWER

Prevent Engine Damage

To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before starting the engine.

Oil Type

Always use high quality detergent oil classified “For service SE, SF, SG” SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended oils.

SAE 10W-30 multigrade oil may be used, but this will result in higher engine operating temperatures with consequential high oil consump- tion. It is imperative that the oil level is checked more frequently if this grade of oil is used in order to guard against serious engine damage.

To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use - refer to ‘Maintenance Schedule’.

0.15 Litres

ADD

DO NOT OVERFILL.

Fuel Type

Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added engine protection Briggs & Stratton recommend the use of their fuel additive which is available from an authorised Briggs & Stratton ser- vice dealer.

Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
