Engine Maintenance

Important: For Kawasaki and Kohler Engines,
refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for
additional maintenance procedures.
Important: If you are using a machine with
an Exmark engine above 5,000 ft (1500 m) for a
continuous period, ensure that the High Altitude
Kit has been installed so that the engine meets
CARB/EPA emission regulations. The High
Altitude Kit increases engine performance while
preventing spark fouling, hard starting, and
increased emissions. Once you have installed
the kit, attach the high-altitude label next to
the serial decal on the machine (reference
Figure 1). Contact an Authorized Service Dealer
to obtain the proper High Altitude Kit and
high-altitude label for your machine. To locate a
dealer convenient to you, access our web site at
http://www.Exmark.com or contact our Exmark
Customer Care Department at the number(s)
listed in your Emission Control Warranty
Statement. Remove the kit from the engine
and restore the engine to its original factory
configuration when running the engine under
5,000 ft (1500 m). Do Not operate an engine
that has been converted for high-altitude use at
a lower altitudes; otherwise, you could overheat
and damage the engine. If you are unsure
whether or not your machine has been converted
for high altitude use, look for the following label:

use at above 5,000 feet elevation. If using below 5,000
feet, it must be revised back to original specifications.

WARNING
The engine can become very hot, especially the
muffler and exhaust components. Touching a
hot engine can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine to cool completely before
service or making repairs around the engine area.
Do Not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.
