CLEANING
CAUTION
If a pressure washer is used on the ex-
posed working parts, avoid water on the
electrical parts and the engine cooling
system.
Engine Air Cleaner System
Kohler Quad-Clean™ Air Cleaner
An engine mounted Kohler Quad-Clean™ air clean-
er provides the air ltering function. The paper lter
element slides over an outlet tube on the air cleaner
base with radial sealing action, reducing the possi-
bility of dust leaks due to improper lter installation.
Intake design and internal baing in the cover pro-
vide dust separation and automatic precleaning ac-
tion. In addition to the paper lter, an oiled foam
precleaner sleeve surrounds the lter and provides
extra ltering action.
IMPORTANT: Use only Kohler air lter and pre-
cleaner for replacement (Kohler Filter P/N 17-083-
21-S and Precleaner P/N 17-083-15-S). Aftermar-
ket lters may not seal properly or lter eciently.
