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
Checking Engine Oil Level
Figure 23
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.
