Maintenance

Before performing any maintenance or
repairs, disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral

Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator/Owner Manual for engine
maintenance instructions.
Check engine oil level before each use as instructed in the Engine
Operator/Owner Manual packed with your unit. Follow the
instructions carefully.
Changing Engine Oil (Kohler Single Cylinder Engine)
WARNING!
If the engine has been recently run, the
engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will
be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
NOTE: The oil filter should be changed at every oil change
interval.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1.
Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the
crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and
carry away more of the engine sediment which may have
settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to avoid
burns from hot oil.
2.
Open the tractor's hood and locate the oil drain port on
the left side of the engine.
3.
Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil drain
valve to expose the drain port. See inset of Figure 6-1.

4.
Remove the oil fill cap/ dipstick from the oil fill tube.
5.
Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual) onto the
oil drain port. Route the opposite end of the hose into an
appropriate oil collection container with at least a 2.5 quart
capacity, to collect the used oil.
6.
Slightly push in on the oil drain valve and rotate to open
and allow the flow of oil. See Figure 6-1.
7.
After the oil has finished draining, push the oil drain valve
back in and rotate into the locked position. Re-cap the end
of the oil drain valve to keep debris from entering the drain
port.
8.
Replace the oil filter (if equipped) as instructed in the
separate engine Owner's Manual.
9.
Refill the engine with new oil. Refer to the engine Owner's
Manual for information regarding the proper volume and
weight of engine oil.

1.
Unscrew the oil fill cap and remove the dipstick from the oil
fill tube.
2.
Snap the small end of oil drain sleeve onto the oil sump.
See Figure 6-2.
