OIL, FILTER AND LUBRICATION INFORMATION

6.1 ENGINE OIL INFORMATION

Detailed information on standard workshop and safety

procedures and general installation practices is not

included here. ODG assumes no responsibility or li-

ability for PERSONAL INJURY or VEHICLE DAMAGE

which results from any procedure performed, including

those procedures outlined here. Before performing any

procedure, an individual must have determined to his/

her satisfaction that personal injury or vehicle damage

will not result from the procedure, working environment

or tools selected.

6.1.1 Checking the Engine Oil Level

Check the engine oil level each day before operating the

engine.

To check the oil during an operating period, shut the engine

off, let it cool down and allow the oil time to drain into the

sump before checking the oil level. Position the vehicle so

the engine is level.

The BRIGGS & STRATTON VANGUARD (Figure 6-1) and

Kohler engines (Figure 6-2) are equipped with a dipstick and

a separate oil ller tube. To check the oil level, clean the area

around the dipstick before removing. Remove the dipstick and

wipe it with a clean cloth. Re-insert the dipstick and push it

all the way into the tube. Remove the dipstick and check the

oil level. The oil level should be between the ADD and FULL

marks. If the level has dropped, add oil to bring the level up

to the FULL mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.

Do not run the engine if the oil level is above the FULL

mark or below the ADD mark. Premature engine dam-

age or total engine failure can occur when the oil level

is not properly maintained.

6.1.2 Recommended Engine Oil

Use a high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum

Institute) service class as listed in chart. Choose the correct

viscosity of oil for seasonal driving conditions. Using the

proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely

important. So is checking oil daily and changing oil regu-

larly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes

premature engine wear and failure.
