MAINTENANCE
Kohler engine
The standard engine is not equipped with a
pre-filter. As an option a pre-filter can be
installed on the inside of the air filter cover.
1. Loose the two retaining knobs and
remove the cover. If the engine has a
pre-filter, it is mounted on the inside of
the cover. Replace the foam filter or
clean it with soap-water and squeeze it
dry before assembly.
2. Clean the area around the filter element
to prevent debris from getting in the
engine when the element is removed.
3. Remove the filter element. Replace a
dirty, bent or damaged element with a
new one. Handle new element carefully;
do not use if the sealing surfaces are
bent or damaged.
If the element is to be re-used, tap it
against a fixed surface to remove dust.
4. Check the air cleaner base. Make sure it
is secured and not bent or damaged.
Also check the air filter cover for damage
or improper fit. Replace all damaged air
cleaner components.
5. Install the filter element. Check that it fits
properly and that no air leaks occur.
6. Install the cover and tighten the knobs by
hand.
