CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL

Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining.

1.Remove the oil filler cap and drain cap, and drain the oil into a suitable container.

2.Retighten the drain cap securely.

3.Refill to the upper limit mark on the dipstick with the recommended oil. Tighten the oil filler cap securely.

TABLE D.4

OIL FILTER TIGNTENING TORQUES

	Kohler

OIL FILTER	10 ft-lb, (13.6Nßm)
TORQUE:

5.Refill the crankcase with the specified amount of the recommended oil. Reinstall the oil filler cap.

6.Start the engine and check for oil filter leaks.

7.Stop the engine, and check the oil level. If neces- sary, add oil to the upper limit mark on the dipstick.

TABLE D.3

ENGINE OIL REFILL CAPACITIES

	Kohler

Without oil filter replacement:	1.70US qt (1.41Imp qt., 1.60
	liter)
With oil filter replacement:	2.0 US qt. (1.66 Imp qt., 1.90
	liter)

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SG or SH. Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil con- tainer to be sure it includes the letters SG or SH.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temper- ature use, -5% F to 86%F (-20%C to 30%C). See Engine Owner’s Manual for more specific information on oil viscosity recommendations.

Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service sta- tion or recycling center for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or down a drain.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL FILTER

1.Drain the engine oil, and retighten the drain cap securely.

2.Remove the oil filter, and drain the oil into a suit- able container. Discard the used oil filter.

3.Clean the filter mounting base, and coat the gasket of the new oil filter with clean engine oil.

4.Screw on the new oil filter by hand, until the gasket contacts the filter mounting base, then use an oil filter socket tool to tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 7/8 turn. See Table D.5 for tightening torque specifications.

AIR CLEANER SERVICE

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when oper- ating the engine in extremely dusty areas.

WARNING

•Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.

•Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result from contaminants, such as dust and dirt being drawn into the engine.
