Checking the engine’s oil level,
Kohler
Check the oil level in the engine when the
Rider stands horizontal with the engine
switched off.
Open the engine cover.
Loosen the dipstick and pull it out. Wipe off
the dipstick and fit it again.
The dipstick should not be screwed into
place.
Pull out the dipstick and read the oil level.
The oil level should be between the markings
on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the
“ADD” mark, top up the oil to the “FULL” mark
on the dipstick.
The oil is topped up through the hole the
dipstick sits in.
Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly
before starting the engine. Start and run the
engine at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds.
Turn off the engine. Wait 30 seconds and
check the oil level. If necessary fill so that the
oil comes up to the “FULL” mark on the
dipstick.
First and foremost use engine oil class SG,
SH, SJ or higher. Choose oil with viscosity
according to the temperature ranges in the
figure.
Do not mix different types of oil.
During the first 50 hours mineral oil should be
used, after which synthetic engine oil is
recommended.
