HOT oil may cause burns.
Allow engine to cool before draining oil.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL:
1. The "snap lock" oil drain valve is located on the left side of the engine
crankcase.
2. Place a suitable container under the drain valve. The short piece of
hose will help direct the oil.
3. Push the valve body in and twist to clear the detent notch.
4. Pulling the valve body outward will start the flow of oil.
NOTE:
Refer to engine manufacturers recommendations for frequency
of oil changes.
CLOSED OPEN
OIL FILL:
1. Push the valve body in and twist into the detent notch.
2. Clean any spilled oil from engine and chassis.
3. Refill engine with type, and quantity of oil recommended by the
engine manufacturer in engine literature.
NOTE:
Engine oil changes on the 5000 Series Models will require
replacement of the oil filter. These filters can be obtained from
any authorized Kohler or Briggs & Stratton engine dealer.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT:
The use of non-original oil or air filters may result in damage to the
engine and a loss of warranty. Listed on Page 41 are the correct part
numbers for each engine in the 5000 Commercial Series.

PLEASE DISPOSE OF USED OILS AT PROPER COLLECTION CENTERS
