MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS REQUIREMENTS

The owner is responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine. Kohler Co. recom- mends that all receipts and records covering the per- formance of regular maintenance be retained in case questions arise. If the engine is resold during the warranty period, the maintenance records should be transferred to each subsequent owner. Kohler Co. reserves the right to deny warranty cover- age if the engine has not been properly maintained; however, Kohler Co. may not deny warranty repairs solely because of the lack of repair maintenance or failure to keep maintenance records.

Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and systems may be per- formed by any repair establishment or individual; however, warranty repair must be performed by a Kohler authorized service center. Any replace- ment part or service that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in non-war- ranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.

Maintenance, repair or replacement of the emission control devices andsystems, which are being done at the customers expense, may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual. Warranty repairs must performed by an authorized warranty outlet.

Cleaning The Engine

This tractor has an air-cooled engine. Air must be able to circulate freely around the engine through the flywheel screen, through the cooling shrouds and over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep these areas free of accumulated dirt and debris or the engine will overheat; possibly causing extensive engine damage. Regularly clean the inside of the side panels, dash intake screen and grille to ensure adequate cooling. If debris has accumulated inside the cooling shrouds, the blower housing and cooling shrouds should be removed and the cooling fins cleaned.

WARNING: This machine is designed to cool properly with the side panels in place. Operating without the panels could cause premature accumulation of dirt and debris on the engine, resulting in inadequate cooling.

WARNING: Keep the muffler area clean. Before running the engine, clean the muffler area to remove all combustible debris. Inspect the muffler area often when mowing during the Fall season.

Before each use, the oil level of the engine crankcase should be checked to see that it is filled to the correct level. Close monitoring of the oil level during the first 10 hours of operation of the engine is especially important and the oil level should be checked EVERY HOUR during the first five hours of operation.
