Prevent Engine Damage

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

Oil Type

Always use high quality detergent oil classifi ed SAE 30 oil.
Never use additives with recommended oil.
To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is
changed after the fi rst 5 hours of use - Refer to 'Maintenance
Schedule'.

Check Oil Level

Clean around the oil fi ller cap before removing. With the
mower on a level surface, unscrew and remove the oil fi ller
dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean cloth. Screw the oil fi ller
dipstick back in place, then unscrew and remove it to check
the oil level.
(Refer fi g.4 & 5)
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the
dipstick. 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 service dealer.
Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not
