Figure 5-7 Air Cleaner Components
Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the engine. Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around the air cleaner system. Keep this area clean. Also check for loose or damaged components. Replace all bent or damaged air cleaner components.
Note: Operating the engine with loose or damaged air cleaner components could allow unfiltered air into the engine causing premature wear and failure.
Paper Element Service
Replace the paper element at the intervals indicated in the service schedule. See Figure

4.Rotate the air cleaner cover levers outward to unlock cover; remove the air cleaner cover.
5.Remove the paper element from the base.
6.Do not wash the paper element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the element. Replace a dirty, bent, or damaged element. Handle new elements carefully; do not use if the sealing surfaces are bent or damaged.
7.When servicing the air cleaner, check the air cleaner base. Make sure it is secured and not bent or damaged. Also, check the element cover for damage or improper fit. Replace all damaged air cleaner components.
Note: If any loose dirt or debris fell on the air cleaner base when the element was removed, carefully remove it and wipe the base clean. Be careful that none of it drops into the intake throat.
8.Reinstall the paper element onto the air cleaner base. Make sure the element is flat and properly seated.
9.Position the air cleaner cover with levers outward over air cleaner; turn levers inward to lock.
10.When element replacement is necessary, order genuine Kohler parts.

5.5Cooling System
The engine fan draws cooling air through the openings in the sides and end near the battery. The alternator fan draws cooling air through openings on the side walls of the enclosure. The cooling air mixes with the engine exhaust and is discharged at the exhaust outlet. See the service view in Section 1.9 for air intake and exhaust locations. To prevent generator set damage caused by overheating, keep the housing cooling inlets and outlets clean and unobstructed at all times.
Note: Do not block the generator set cooling air inlets or mount other equipment above them. Overheating and severe generator damage may occur.
