rAir Cleaner Dirty

Oil

Capacity

Engine without oil filter holds approximately 1-7/8 quarts

(60 ounces; 1.8 liter).

Engine equipped with oil filter holds approximately

2 quarts (64 ounces; 1.9 liters).

Recommendations

SUse a high quality detergent motor oil, such as

Briggs & Stratton 30W, Part Number 100005 (20 oz)

or 100028 (48 oz).

SDO NOT use special additives.

SChoose a viscosity according to the table shown.

Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2,

API certification mark and API service sym-

bol (shown at left) with “SJ/CF ENERGY

CONSERVING” or higher, is an acceptable

oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil

does not alter required oil change

intervals.

*Air cooled engines run hotter than

automotive engines. The use of

non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30,

10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above 40°F

(4°C) will result in higher than normal oil

consumption. When using a multi-viscosity

oil, check oil level more frequently.

** SAE 30 oil, if used below 40°F (4°C), will

result in hard starting and possible engine

bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.

Fuel

Recommendations

SUse clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a

minimum of 85 octane. Fresh fuel prevents gum from

forming in the fuel system or on essential carburetor

parts. Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used

within 30 days.

SDo not use gasoline which contains Methanol.

SDo not mix oil with gasoline.

SFor engine protection use Briggs & Stratton

Gasoline Additive available from your Authorized

Briggs & Stratton Dealer (P/N 5041 or single use

pouch).

SThis engine is certified to operate on gasoline.

Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine

Modifications).

Adding Fuel

1. Clean area around fuel cap and remove.

2. Replace cap before starting.

Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated

gasoline, are gasoline blended with alcohols or

ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends can

damage the fuel system or cause performance

problems. If any undesirable operating

symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower

percentage of alcohol or ether.

CAUTION

STurn engine OFF and let engine

cool at least 2 minutes before

removing fuel cap.

SFill fuel tank outdoors or in

well-ventilated area.

SDO NOT overfill fuel tank. Fill tank

to approximately 1-1/2 inches

below top of neck to allow for fuel

expansion.

SIf fuel spills, wait until it evaporates

before starting engine.

SKeep fuel away from sparks, open

flames, pilot lights, heat and other

ignition sources.

SCheck fuel lines, tank, cap, and

fittings frequently for cracks or

leaks. Replace if necessary.
