Oil & Fuel Recommendations Oil Fuel This engine is shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Before starting engine, check oil level as shown below. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Purchase fuel in quantity that can be used within 30 days. In countries other than the U.S.A.

Starting & Stopping Choke operation/engine warm-up This engine is a low emissions engine which operates differently from previously built engines. It is designed for maximum performance and life if operated with the choke fully open (in RUN) and throttle fully open (in FAST). To open the choke fully requires an engine warm-up period of several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature. After starting engine, first open the choke (toward RUN) until the engine just begins to run smoothly.
