Fill the fuel tank outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
Adding Oil and Gasoline
Note: Refer to the Engine Manufacturers Manual for more detailed Engine information.
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps ON the Fuel and Oil Fills until you are ready to pour either gasoline or
oil into the correct Fill.
Note: You will need approximately 15 to 22 ounces of SAE 30 high detergent oil depending on Engine type. Use only SAE 30 high
detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. Do not use special additives. Other types of oil could cause
problems with the operation of your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information on oil
quantity and cold temperature oil specifications.
Note: Briggs and Stratton 6.75 Fuel and Oil fills are on opposite sides from what is
shown in figure 6.
1. Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 1/2 of the SAE 30 High
Detergent oil into the Oil Fill (Figure 6) and wait one (1) minute for the oil to
settle
2. Check the Dipstick and continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time,
rechecking the Dipstick until the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to
overfill.
Note: Discard the blue Protective-Shipping Cap provided by some Engine
Manufacturers. You will find this Protective-Shipping Cap under the Fuel Fill Screw Cap or in the tank Filler Tube. See your
Engine Owner’s Manual for more fuel information.
3. Fill the Fuel Tank with fresh, unleaded gas (with a minimum of 85 Octane), to not more than 1/4" from the bottom of the Fill
Neck to allow for Fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill and reinstall the Cap before starting the Engine. See your Engine
Owner’s Manual for more information.
Note: To refill the Fuel Tank, turn the Engine OFF, and let the Engine cool at least two minutes before removing the Fuel Fill Cap.

You must add oil before starting the engine. This machine is shipped without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from
factory testing, but
you must add oil before starting the engine. Fill the reservoir slowly, checking the level frequently to
avoid overfilling.
 To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
- the machine should be on a level surface.
- the dipstick should be screwed down to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
