The oil drain hose (D) is located at the front of the saw.
1. With the engine OFF but still warm, remove the brass cap
and drain the oil in a pan and remove the oil filter (C).
2. Before installing new filter, lightly oil filter gasket with fresh,
clean oil.
3. Screw filter on by hand until gasket contacts oil filter adapt-
er. Tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn more.
4. Replace the brass cap on the oil drain hose.
5. Fill the engine at the oil fill cap (B) to the "F" mark on the
dipstick (A) with 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of oil.

The air cleaner assembly (F) is accessed on the top of the
engine. The air cleaner element should be replaced every 50
hours. Refer to the supplied engine manual and the "Heavy-
Duty Air Cleaner" for additional information.
ADDITIONAL ENGINE INFORMATION
Please see the Kohler Operator's Manual for additional infor-
mation about servicing the engine.
The manual also has specific information about specifications,
tune-up parts, engine warranty, emission compliance, etc.
Transmission oil
Check the transmission oil level daily. The transmission is ac-
cessible from the rear of the saw. The oil reservoir (G) located
on the top of the transmission has an oil level line 1/8" (3 mm)
from the bottom of the reservoir to indicate the proper fluid
level when cold. Use hydraulic oil 20W with viscosity of 68 Mo-
bil DTE 26 or equivalent.
Transmission neutral
With the saw control lever pulled back towards the operator,
the saw should fully stop and not creep or move. To adjust the
transmission neutral position, loosen the lock nut on the cable
end (H) at the transmission. Pull the spring sleeve back and
adjust the swivel until the saw fully stops moving. Tighten the
lock nut.
