3. Remove the old filter and wipe off the mounting

pad.

4. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened to

14 N.m (125 in. lb.) torque.

Place the new replacement filter in a shallow pan

with the open end up. Pour new oil of the proper

type, in through the threaded center hole. Stop

pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of the

threads. Allow a minute or two for the oil to be

absorbed by the filter material.

6. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the rubber gasket on

the new filter.

If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to

the "F" mark on the dipstick. (Refer to "Oil Type" on

page 4.)Always

check the level with the dipstick

before adding more oil.

Install the replacement oil filter to the mounting

pad. Turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber

gasket contacts the pad, then tighten the filter an

additional 2/3 to 1 turn,

NOTE:

To prevent extensive engine wear or

damage, always maintain the proper oil

level in the crankcase. Never operate the

engine with the oil level below the "L"

mark or over the "F" mark on the dipstick.

Oil Sentry

Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil

Sentry

oil pressure switch. See Figure 8. If the oil

pressure decreases below an acceptable level, the Oil

Sentry

will either activate a warning signal or shut off

the engine, depending on the application.

NOTE:

Make sure the oil level is checked BEFORE

EACH USE and is maintained up to the "F"

mark on the dipstick. This includes engines

equipped with Oil Sentry

TM,

Change

Oil and Filter

Change the oil and oil filter annually

or every 100

hours of operation. Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ

or higher oil as specified in the "Viscosity Grades" table

(Figure 2) on page 4.

Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper type,

to the "F" mark on the dipstick. Refer to "Oil Type"

on page 4. Always check the level with the dipstick

before adding more oil.

9. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and push firmly into

place.

10. Test run the engine to check for leaks. Stop the

engine, allow a minute for the oil to drain down,

and recheck the level on the dipstick. Add more oil,

as necessary, so the oil level is up to but not over

the "F" mark on the dipstick.

NOTE:

To prevent extensive engine wear or

damage, always maintain the proper oil

level in the crankcase. Never operate the

engine with the oil level below the "L"

mark or over the "F" mark on the dipstick.

Change the oil and filter while the engine is still warm.

The oil will flow more freely and carry away more

impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling,

checking, or changing the oil. Always use a genuine

Kohler oil filter, Part No. 52 050 02-S.

Change the oil and oil filter as follows (see Figure 8):

To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of the

engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/

dipstick before removing it.

Remove the oil drain plug and oil fill cap/dipstick.

Be sure to allow ample time for complete drainage.
