Starting the Engine

Checking Oil
NOTICE
The engine was shipped from the factory without oil. Before
you start the engine, ensure that you add oil according to the
instructions in this manual. If you start the engine without oil,
it will be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered under
the warranty.
Use Briggs & Stratton Synthetic 5W-30 Warranty Certified oil
for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are
acceptable if classified for service SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do
not use any additives.
1. Place the unit on a level surface.
2. Clean the oil fill area of any moisture or debris.
3. Remove the oil dipstick (A, Figure 3) and wipe it with a clean
cloth.
4. Insert and tighten the dipstick, then remove it again to check
the oil level. It should be at the top of the full indicator (C)

Adding Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline
• A minimum of 87 octane / 87 AKI (90 RON)
• Up to 10% ethanol is acceptable
NOTICE
Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15 and E85. Do
not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate
fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will cause engine damage that
will not be covered under warranty.
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane
/ 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions
compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation without
this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased
fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See an authorized
service dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude
adjustment is not recommended.
