Engine
Changing the Engine Oil
_
ARNING!
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.
Refer to the Kohler Owner's
Manual for all engine
maintenance
procedures
and instructions.
NOTE: Maintenance,
repair, or replacement
of the emission
control
devices and systems which are being done at owner's
expense
may be performed
by any engine repair establishment
or individual.
Warranty
repairs
must
be performed
by a Cub
Cadet Dealer.
