Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and check
oil level. The oil level needs to be within the
operating range. See Figure 7. If low, add oil of
the proper type, up to the full mark. If oil is above
the "F" or FULL mark, drain oil to reach proper
level. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick.
NOTE:
To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,
always maintain tile proper oil level in tile
crankcase. Never operate the engine with
the oil level above tile "F" or FULL mark, or
below the "L" or LOW mark on the dipstick.

Oil Sentry TM
Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil
Sentry TM oil pressure switch. If the oil pressure drops
below an acceptable level, tile Oil Sentry TM will either
shut off the engine or activate a warning signal,
depending on the application.
NOTE: Make sure the oil level is checked BEFORE
EACH USE and is maintained up to the FULL
or "F" mark on the dipstick. This includes
engines equipped with Oil Sentry TM.
Change Oil and Oil Filter
Change the oil and oil filter annually or every 100
hours of operation (more frequently under severe
conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ, or
higher oil as specified in the Viscosity Grades table
(Figure 2) on page 4. Always use a genuine Kohter oil
filter. Use chart below to determine part number to
order.
Oil Filter Part No. Length
12 050 01-S 2-1/2"
52 050 02-S 3-3/8"
Change the oil 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.
