Adding the Engine Oil and Gasoline
Capacities
Briggs & Stratton - 900 Series, 9.00 FPT, OHV ⇒ 20 oz. (.60L) SAE 30 High Detergent Oil
Gasoline Tank ⇒ Unleaded Gas (85 Octane minimum), 3.0 Qts. (2.8 L)
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 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 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. (1/2 quart) of
SAE 30 High Detergent oil, recommended by the Engine Manufacturer, and
wait one minute for the oil to settle (Figure 5).
2. Continue adding a few ounces of Oil at a time, until the Oil reaches just
below the threads. Be careful not to overfill.
3. Fill the Gas Tank with fresh, unleaded gas (with a minimum of 85 Octane),
to approximately 1" to 1-1/2" below the top 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 Gas Tank, turn the Engine OFF, and let the Engine cool at least
five (5) minutes before removing the Gas Fill Cap.
Fill gas tank outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
