The mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a

seconds, see your dealer.
Once the engine has stopped, the PTO switch must be turned
off, the parking brake must be engaged, and the ground speed
levers must be locked in their START/PARK positions in order
to start the engine.

Oil Recommendations

Oil Capacity: See the Specifications section.
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified
oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are
acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher.
Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the
engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor
temperature range expected.
A SAE 30 - Below 40 °F (4 °C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard
starting.
B 10W-30 - Above 80 °F (27 °C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased
oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
C Synthetic 5W-30
D 5W-30
