Adding Oil and Gasoline
Engine Oil SAE 30: above 40 degrees F; 10w-30: 10-90 degrees F;
5w-30: 40 degrees F or below
Fuel Unleaded 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 high detergent oil depending on Engine type. Use only 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 provided with your mower for detailed information on oil quantity
and cold temperature oil specifications.

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.
- To ensure an accurate oil level reading, DO NOT screw the dipstick down.
