Adding the Engine Oil and Gasoline
NOTE: Use only the recommended high detergent oil. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to
your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the Fuel and
Engine oil Fills and only removing one cap each time when you are ready to
pour gasoline or oil into the correct Fill (Figure 24).
1. Place the machine on a level surface and add the initial quantity of the oil
recommended by the Engine Manufacturer (refer to your Engine Owner’s
Manual for recommended quantities), and wait one 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.
3. Fill the gas tank to within 1-1/2 inches below top of fill neck (to allow for fuel
expansion) with fresh, unleaded gas. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for
more information.
 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 dipstick 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 on Briggs & Stratton engines.
 The dipstick should not be screwed down on Subaru engines.
