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.
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.
1. Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 16 oz. (B&S) or 32 oz. (Subaru) of the oil
recommended by the Engine Manufacturer, and wait one minute for the oil to settle (Figure 26).
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 (Figure 26).
3. Fill the gas tank to within 1-1/2 inches below the bottom of the fill neck (to allow for fuel expansion)
with fresh, unleaded gas. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more information.
