STARTING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT - PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE: The
engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The engine must
be filled with the correct grade of oil and petrol before
starting the engine.
Oil recommendations: Always use high quality detergent
oil classified “For service SE, SF, SG” SAE 30 oil. Never
use additives with recommended oils.
SAE 10W-30 multigrade oil may be used, but this will result
in higher engine operating temperatures with consequential
high oil consumption. It is imperative that the oil level is
checked more frequently if this grade of oil is used in order
to guard against serious engine damage.
Check oil level: Clean around the oil filler cap before
removing. With the mower on a level surface, unscrew and
remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil from it with a clean
cloth. Screw the oil filler - dipstick back in place, then
unscrew and remove it to check the oil level.
The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dip-
stick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Slowly fill with engine oil as necessary and replace the oil
filler - dipstick.
IMPORTANT: The oil filler dipstick must be secured to
prevent oil leakage during operation.
Fuel Recommendations: Always use clean, fresh unleaded
petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities which can be used with-
in 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added engine
protection Briggs & Stratton recommend the use of their
fuel additive which is available from an authorised Briggs &
Stratton service dealer.
Check fuel level: Clean around the fuel filler cap before
removing and fill the fuel tank with clean unleaded petrol.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow 6mm minimum of tank
space for fuel expansion.
IMPORTANT: The fuel filler cap must be secured to
prevent fuel leakage during operation.
