Machine Maintenance: 5-6
Oil Filter
Briggs and Stratton engines use Briggs and Stratton oil lters. An equivalent or better oil
lter must be used when servicing the engine.
To replace the lter, use a proper lter wrench to remove the lter.
Clean the lter mounting base and lightly coat the gasket surface of the new lter with
engine oil. Hand tighten the lter until the gasket contacts the base, then tighten another
½ turn. Fill the engine with the correct amount of oil, run the engine and check for oil leaks
at the drain plug and oil lter gasket.
Spark Plugs
Always use the recommended spark plugs for your engine. Hotter or colder plugs, or similar
plugs that are not exact equivalents to the recommended plugs, can cause permanent
engine damage, reduce the engines useful life, and cause many other problems such as
hard starting, spark knock and run-on. Installing new spark plugs regularly is one of the
best ways to keep your engine at peak performance.
Fuel Filter
The fuel lter is located between the fuel pump and the fuel tank underneath the vehicle.
