Important
• The oil must be drained whilst the engine is hot. Particular
care is required to prevent burns. Do not allow oil to come
into contact with the skin because of the health hazards
involved. It is recommended to use an oil intake pump.
• During operations that involve access to moving parts of
the engine and/or removal of rotating guards, disconnect
and insulate the negative wire (-) of the battery to prevent
accidental short-circuits and to stop the starter motor from
being energized.
• Check belt tension only when the engine is off.
• Fully tighten the tank cap each time after refuelling. Do not
fill the tank right to the top but leave an adequate space for
the fuel to expand.
• To start the engine follow the specific instructions provided
in the engine and/or machine operating manual. Do not
use auxiliary starting devices not originally installed on the
machine (e.g. Startpilot).
• Before starting, remove any tools that were used to service
the engine and/or machine. Make sure that all guards have
been refitted.
• Do not mix fuel with elements such as oil or kerosene.
Failure to comply with this prohibition will cause the non-
operation of the catalyst and non-observance of the
emissions declared by KOHLER.
• Pay attention to the temperature of the oil filter when the
filter itself is replaced.
• Only check, top up and change the coolant fluid when
the engine is off and reached the ambient temperature.
Coolant fluid is polluting, it must therefore be disposed of
in the correct way.

SAFETY INFORMATION
α ≤ 15°
• Do not use air and water jets at high pressures on cables,
connectors and injectors.
Important
• Only use the eyebolts A installed by KOHLER to move the
engine (Fig. 3.1).
• The angle between each lifting chain and the eyebolts shall
not exceed 15° inwards.
• The correct tightening of the lifting screws is 25Nm.
• Do not interpose spacers or washers between the eyebolts
and engine head.
• Provided that the above requirements are met, if the lifting
eyebolts are subject to permanent deformation (inwards), all
subsequent lifting operations must be performed in order to
prevent them from bending in the opposite direction.
