Changing the Engine Oil
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
right side of the engine.
3.
Pop open the protective
cap on the end of the oil drain
valve to expose the drain port. See Fig 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.
Pinch the tabs on the oil drain valve, then pull outward
to
begin draining
oil. See Fig 6-1.
7.
After the oil has finished
draining,
push the end of the oil
drain valve back in, until the tabs click into place. Re-cap
the end of the oil drain valve to keep debris from entering
the drain port.
Replace the oil filter as instructed
in the Kohler Owner's
Manual.
Refill the engine with new oil. Refer to the Kohler Owner's
Manual for information
regarding
the volume
and weight
of engine
oil
