B. Liner Replacement (Figure #7)
1.Complete Steps 1 thru 7 found in section A (Removing and Replacing the Fan and Talon Ring).
2.Unbolt and remove the hardware securing the Liner to the Housing.
3.Remove the Liner from the housing by wrapping it and pulling it through the front of the housing.
4.When installing the new Liner into the Housing,
make sure the chamfered edge of the liner is installed in the vertical position at the discharge opening of
the housing.
5.As you position the Liner against the wall of the Housing, make sure the holes of the liner line up with the slots in the Housing.
6.Secure the Liner to the Housing (one hole at a time) with the 10 bolts, washers, and nuts. When installing the hardware, insert the bolts through the inside surface of the liner and install the washers and nuts to the outside face of the Housing.
7.Complete Steps 8 thru 13 found in section A (Removing and Replacing the Fan and Talon Ring).
C.Oil and Filter Change
1.Oil Change: Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the “Viscosity Grades” above. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking, and changing the oil. Change the oil as follows:
a)To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick and drain valve before moving to the next step.
b)Attach a 1/2” I.D. hose to the fitting on the oil drain valve. Place the other end of the hose in an oil pan. Next, remove the oil fill cap and dipstick, then open the oil drain valve
c)Once all the oil has drained, close the valve (clockwise) and remove the hose.
d)Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper type, to the “F” mark on the dipstick. Refer to “Oil Type” on page 11. Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil.
e)Reinstall the oil fill cap and tighten securely. Reinstall the dipstick. NOTE: To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “L” mark or over the “F” mark on
the dipstick.
2.Oil Filter Change: Replace the oil filter at least every other oil change (every 200 hours of operation). Always use a genuine Kohler oil filter, Part No. 12 050
a)Follow steps A to C from the above “Change Oil” section.
b)Allow the oil filter to drain.
c)Before removing the oil filter, clean the area around the oil filter to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Remove the old filter. Wipe off the surface where the oil filter mounts.
d)Place a new replacement filter in a shallow pan with the open end up. Pour new oil, of the proper type, in through the threaded center hole. Stop pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of the threads. Allow a minute or two for the oil to be absorbed by the filter material.
e)Put a drop of oil on your fingertip and wipe it on the rubber gasket.
f)Install the replacement oil filter to the filter adapter or oil cooler. Turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter or oil cooler, then tighten the filter an additional 2/3 to 1 turn.
g)Follow steps
