OIL PRESSURE

Normal warm operating oil pressure for a pressure lube

engine (engine with oil filter) is 10 to 50 psi at normal

operating temperature. If pressure drops below normal

range, stop engine and check oil level with dipstick. If oil

level is between ADD and FULL mark on dipstick, Do not

restart engine. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton

Service Dealer. Do not operate engine until oil pressure is

corrected.

If oil level is below ADD mark on dipstick, add oil to bring

level to FULL mark. Restart engine and check oil pressure.

If pressure is normal, continue to operate engine.

Note: Oil pressure gauge, if engine is equipped, is supplied

by manufacturer of equipment.

AIR CLEANER

All engines have an oval air cleaner cartridge. In addition,

some engines have a pre-cleaner.

Pre-cleaner
To clean pre-cleaner (if equipped), separate it from

cartridge and wash in liquid detergent and water. Squeeze

clean, absorbent cloth to remove all EXCESS oil.
