repair and operating instructions.
– Always use original KOHLER spare parts for proper repair operations.
–
The operator must wash, clean and dry components and assemblies before installing them.
–
The operator must make sure that the contact surfaces are intact, lubricate the coupling parts and protect those that are prone
to oxidation.
– Before any intervention, the operator should lay out all equipment and tools in such a way as to enable him to carry out operations
correctly and safely.
– For safety and convenience, you are advised to place the engine on a special rotating stand for engine overhauls.

and any persons involved.
– In order to fix assemblies and/or components securely, the operator must tighten the fastening parts in a criss-cross or alternating
pattern.
– Assemblies and/or components with a specific tightening torque must initially be fastened at a level lower than the assigned
value, and then subsequently tightened to the final torque.

– Dry all washed surfaces and components thoroughly with a jet of air or special cloths before reassembling them.
– Apply a layer of lubricant over all surfaces to protect them against oxidation.
– Check all components for intactness, wear and tear, seizure, cracks and/or faults to be sure that the engine is in good working
condition.
