To add oil to the Briggs & Stratton engine with part number 040229-1, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Oil Drain Valve – The parts list includes an oil drain valve (Item 21, Part #186071GS) and an oil drain hose (Item 23, Part #186430GS), which are typically near the base of the engine.
2. Check the Oil Level – Before adding oil, ensure the engine is on a level surface and check the current oil level using the dipstick.
3. Add the Correct Oil – Use the recommended oil type as specified in the engine manual (not provided in the context). Remove the oil fill cap and slowly pour oil into the fill port.
4. Monitor the Oil Level – Use the dipstick to check that the oil level is within the recommended range.
5. Secure the Oil Cap – Once the correct amount of oil is added, securely replace the oil fill cap.
6. Inspect for Leaks – Ensure there are no leaks around the oil drain valve and hose before starting the engine.
For specific oil type and capacity, refer to the engine’s user manual.
