More often in extremely dusty or dirty conditions (Refer to notes about air cleaner element under

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR CARE OF KOHLER ENGINE)

∗∗ Change engine oil and filter after first 8 hours of operation of a new engine (break-in period)

∗∗∗ Air cleaner is remote mounted Cummins/Fleetguard

OptiAir™ unit, replace filter every year

Change oil every 50 hours when operating in dry, dirty conditions

Initial oil and filter change at 75-100 hours

CAUTION

When performing maintenance with the mower body raised, a safety prop should be installed from back of body to chassis frame (fail-safe protection in case of failure of body lift support).
