Briggs & Stratton Power Built 825 Serie Instrucciones De Mantenimiento & Operación página 5

This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System:
EM (Engine Modifications).
Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Adding Fuel
Clean around fuel fill before removing cap. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 inches
below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill.
WARNING
Before refueling, allow engine to cool 2 minutes.
STARTING
CAUTION: Some engines may be equipped with Oil GardR. The Oil GardR
is intended to warn the operator that the engine is low on oil. Always check oil
level before starting. Engine damage may occur if the oil level is not properly
maintained and will void warranty coverage. If the engine will not start, has
stopped running and/or a light flickers in the stop switch, add oil (see oil
procedure Fig. 2).
