Adjusting the Seat

To adjust the position of the seat, lift the seat forward and loosen the seat adjustment knob. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position; then tighten the adjustment knob. Release the seat. See Fig. 3-4.

Gas and Oil

The fuel tank is located under the hood and has a capacity of two and three-fourths gallons. Remove the fuel cap by turning it counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Do not overfill the tank.

Warning! Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

NOTE: Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine. However, you MUST check the oil level before operating.

Caution: Always check the engine oil level before each use as instructed in the Kohler Owner’s Manual. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may result in serious damage to your engine.
