NOTICE
This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Equipment manufacturers
or dealers may have added oil to the engine. Before you start the engine for the first
time, make sure to check the oil level and add oil according to the instructions in this
manual. If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and will
not be covered under warranty.
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton
performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the correct oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart
to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected. Engines on
most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W-30 Synthetic oil. For equipment
operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard
