Servicing a Kohler Engine

Servicing the Air Cleaner
Service Interval: Every 25 hours—For Kohler
engines—clean or the air-cleaner
foam element (more often in dusty,
dirty conditions).
Every 100 hours or yearly, whichever comes
first—For Kohler engines—replace the paper
air-cleaner element (more often in dusty, dirty
conditions).
Note:
Service the air cleaner more frequently (every
few hours) if operating conditions are extremely dusty
or sandy.
Removing the Foam and Paper Elements
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and move the
motion-control levers outward to the P
position.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Clean around the air-cleaner cover to prevent
dirt from getting into the engine and causing
damage.
4. Rotate the latches outward and remove the
cover to access the air-cleaner elements.
