Oil
● Use only multi-viscosity oils as specied with
the viscosity matching ambient temperatures
for the en gine operating conditions. This will
aid starting in cold weather and assure proper
lubrication in hot weather.
● Use only Kohler oil lters. Aftermarket lters
may not seal properly and/or have the incor-
rect pressure relief valve for proper lubrication.
LUBRICATION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lubricate the machine
with the engine running. Disengage the
PTO clutch, shut o󰀨 the machine, and re-
move the ignition key.
Proper lubrication is an important maintenance
pro cedure. It reduces wear and makes the
machine quieter and easier to operate.
Engine Oil
Engine Break-In Oil
No special break-in oil is required. The engine
is serviced with 10W-30, Service Class SJ oil from
the factory. Change the oil after the initial engine
break-in period of 5 hours. Thereafter, change
oil after every 100 hours of operation.
Checking Engine Crankcase Oil Level
Check the engine crankcase oil level before use
and after each 8 hours of continuous operation.
IMPORTANT: The importance of checking and
maintaining the proper crankcase oil level cannot
be overemphasized. Check the oil level BEFORE
EACH USE.
1. Park the mower on a level surface with the
en gine stopped. Also, make sure the engine
is cool and oil has had time to drain into the
sump [allow at least ve (5) minutes after
stopping the engine].
IMPORTANT: NEVER check or add oil with
the engine running.
2. Before removing the dipstick, clean the area
around the dipstick to keep any dirt or debris
out of the engine.
3. Remove the dipstick, wipe o󰀨 with a clean rag,
then reinsert the dipstick into the tube and
press all the way down.
4. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil
lev el on the dipstick. The oil level should be
within the “Operating Range” on the dipstick
(between the “L” mark and the “F” mark).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate engine
without a su󰀩cient oil supply in the crankcase.
DO NOT operate with the oil level below the
“L” mark or above the “F” mark on the dipstick.
5. If additional oil is needed, refer to Specica-
tions on page 3 for proper crankcase lubri-
cant. Fill up to, but not above, the “F” mark
on the dipstick.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overll the crank-
case (oil above “F” mark) as this CAN result in
engine overheating, loss of power, and pos-
sible en gine damage.
