Page 19: Recommended Oil
MAINTENANCE - RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE - REFILLING The engine could be damaged if allowed to operate with insufficient oil. It is also dangerous to add too much oil as its com- bustion could sharply increase the rotation speed. Use a suitable oil in order to protect the engine. The lubrication oil influences the performances and life of the engine in an incredible way. The risk of piston seizure, jammed piston rings and rapid wear of the cylinder liner, the bearings and all moving parts in- creases if oil whose characteristics differ from the recommended type is used, or if the oil is not regularly changed. All this notably reduces engine life. Oil viscosity must suit the ambient temperature in which the engine operates. Old oil can cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin and for long periods of time. If contact with the oil is inevitable, you are advised to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible. Appropriate protective gloves etc should be wore during this operation. Old oil is highly polluting and must be disposed of in the correct way. Do not litter. RECOMMENDED OIL AGIP SUPERDIESEL MULTIGRADE 15W40 specifications API CF-4/ SG ACEA E2,B2 MIL-L-46152 D/E. ESSO SPECIAL PKW-UNI- FLO DIESEL 15W40 specifications API CF-4/SG ACEA E2,B2 MIL- GRADE L-46152 D/E. In the countries where AGIP and ESSO products are not available, use oil API SJ/CF for Diesel engines or oil correspon- ding to the military specification MIL-L-46152 D/E. -

Besides disassembly and reassembly operations this chapter also includes checking and setting specifications, dimensions, repair and using compressed air, wear eye operating instructions. Always use original KOHLER spare parts for protection. repair operations. Clean the filtering element with air blast. Air must be blown from inside to outside the cartridge at a distance of at least 15 cm from the paper. -
Page 21: Dry Air Cleaner For Kd 400-440
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Clean the filtering element with air blast. Air must be blown from inside to outside the cartridge at a distance of at least 15 cm from the paper. Lightly and repeatedly tap the element on a hard surface to eliminate all excess dirt. Dry air cleaner for KD 400-440 Open air cleaner (fig. 4). Unscrew the wing nut 1 (fig. 4a) and remove the filter element (fig. 5). Check the rubber seal is undamaged A (fig. 5a) Clean the filtering element with air blast. If the filtering element has been already cleaned other times, or if it is irreparably clogged, throw it away and replace . Refit the air filter and make sure the seal A is properly inserted, then tighten the wing nut 1. Make sure that the filter is mounted in the correct way other- wise dust and other impurities could ilfiltrate into the intake ducts. -
Page 22: Oil-Bath Air Cleaner (Optional)
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Never clean the filtering element 6 using solvents with a low flash point. This could cause an explosion ! Make sure that the retention rings 4 - 5 are in a good condition and replace them if they are damaged.

Page 23: Rocker Arm Cover - Breather Ricirculation
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Always check the the spring and valve to make sure they are in a good conditions. Rocker arm cover - Breather ricirculation Crankcase vapor recirculation occurs through duct 4. If the air filter clogs, the increased intake vacuum could suck oil throu- gh duct 4 into the combustion chamber, causing the engine to operate at a runaway rate. This is prevented by valcuum valve 2 which, when the vacuum increases, overcomes the resistance of spring 3 and shuts the duct 4. Make sure that oil plug 5 is correctly closed. Refit cover 1 and tighten rocker arm cover to 10 Nm. Valve/rocker arm clearance ( KD 225-315-350 ) Set valve/rocker arm clearance when the engine is cold: bring piston to top dead center on the compression stroke and set clearance at 0.10-0.15 mm using a thickness gauge. Tighten lock nut. -
Page 24: Hydraulic Tappets Kd 400-440
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Hydraulic tappets KD 400-440 Distribution uses hydraulic tappets for automatic adjustment of valve clearance. The figure shows the tappet used in KD 400 engines. Caption 1- Lock ring 2- Upper collar 3- Oil inlet holes 4- Low-pressure chamber 5- Piston 6- Play-recovery spring 7- Case 8- Area to be lubricated 9- High-pressure chamber 10- Check valve 11- Identification marks Fill the low-pressure chamber through the oil inlet holes. If clearance occurs while running, as the tappet returns to the base of the camshaft, the play-recovery spring stretches out, keeping all timing system parts close together. -
Page 25: Tank
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY To avoid explosions or fire outbreaks, do not smoke or use na- ked flames during the operations. Fuel vapours are highly toxic. Only carry out the operations out- doors or in a well ventilated place. Keep your face well away from the plug to prevent harmful va- pours from being inhaled. Dispose of fuel in the correct way and do not litter as it is highly polluting. Tank Unscrew the upper and lower studs and remove the washers, which otherwise might make removal of the tank difficult. Next disconnect the fuel and air bleeding tubes. -

Page 27: Cylinder Head
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Do not demount when hot or the part could become deformed. Cylinder head If the surface of the cylinder head is deformed, flatten it by removing 0.2 mm of material at most. Always replace the seal. See figs 46-47-48-49-50 when selecting the thickness. The bolts must be tightened in different phases for the va- rious engines, in compliance with the order shown in the figure: First tighten the 4 screws M10, then the 2 side screws M6. Lubricate the shanks of the bolts, under their heads and the washers with engine oil. Do not use too much oil. Oil that deposits in the thre- aded hole on the cylinder block could become pressurized during the tightening phase, sensibly diminishing the driving force. Always make sure that the holes on the cylinder block are dry and clean. Engine KD 225 Engine KD 350 1st phase: tighten all the bolts to a 30 Nm torque value in a 1st phase: tighten all the bolts to a 30 Nm torque value in a crossed fashion. -

DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Cylinder Set a bore gauge to zero with a calibrated ring. Check diameter at 1, 2 and 3; repeat the operation at the same points after turning the bore gauge 90°. If wear exceeds the max. given value by 0.05, bore the cylinder and fit oversize piston and rings. See fig. 40 and 41 for cylinder diameter values. Do not manually hone the cylinder bore surfaces with emery cloth or other means. Cylinder roughness The cross-hatch pattern should be at an angle of 45°-55°; lines should be uniform and clear in both directions. Average roughness must range between 0.5 mm 1 µm. The cylinder surface which comes into contact with piston rings should be machined with the plateau method. Piston Being of low expansion type, the piston allows small clearances between piston and cylinder and, thus, oil consumption is reduced. Remove circlips and piston pin. Remove piston rings and clean grooves. - Page 32 DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY - 32 - KD 225_315_350_400_440 Workshop Manual_cod. ED0053029330_1° ed_ rev. 00...

Before inserting the piston into the cylinder, oil and turn the pi- ston rings so that the cuts are staggered 120° to each other. In KD 350 and KD 225 engines, the second piston ring is not torsional, while the first and third piston rings do not have chro- mium plated zones but are nitrided. -
Page 35: Piston Protrusion Check
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Piston protrusion check To calculate the right thickness for the gasket, the protrusion between the piston and the cylinder head surface must be measured. Use a dial indicator with base plate. Reset to zero while resting on a surface plate, then position against the cylinder head base plane as shown in the diagram, so that the dial indicator rod rests against the piston. Now take the reading. Repeat the operation in the other three points (going crosswise) and take the readings. Calculate the average of these four readings to get the precise measurement of the protrusion between the piston and the cylinder head base plane. -

Page 40: Camshaft Timing
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Camshaft timing Fit camshaft by aligning marks' A with mark D on the crankshaft. Camshaft – Antireverse system KD 400-440 it consists of a device on the camshaft which lifts the intake valve in case of a startup in reverse direction with respect to normal rotation. During normal operation, the tappet overcomes the spring resistance while passing on the system and decompression does not operate. In case of a startup in reverse direction, the antireverse system lifts the valve as the tappet passes by. Startup is thus inhibited. Note: Check the antireverse system for wear, and make sure it is kept in the rest position by the return spring, as shown in picture 68c. Verify that in this condition the clearance between weight A and surface B is 1 mm. -
Page 41: Automatic Decompression
DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY Automatic decompression With the engine at a standstill and up to a rate of about 300 RPM, spring 1, acting on weights 2 and 3 via lever 4 and pin 5, keeps the exhaust valve open during the compression phase also. Once the engine exceeds the 300 RPM rate, weights 1 and 2 keep pin 5 in the hold position owing to the action of the centrifugal force. In this position, cam 6 can regularly control the exhaust valve thanks to a ridge on the pin itself. - Page 42 DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY - 42 - KD 225_315_350_400_440 Workshop Manual_cod.

Carefully clean the two sealing surfaces and spread the sealant uniformly. Tighten screws to 23 Nm. -
Page 46: Lubrication System
LUBRICATION SYSTEM The engine can be damaged if allowed to operate with insufficient oil. It is also dangerous to add too much oil because its combustion may lead to a sharp increase in the rotation speed. Use suitable oil in order to protect the engine. Nothing more than lubrication oil can influence the performances and life of an engine. Use of an inferior quality oil or failure to regularly change the oil will increase the risk of piston seizure, will cause the piston rings to jam and will lead to rapid wear on the cylinder liner, the bearings and all other moving parts. Engine life will also be notably reduced. The oil viscosity must suit the ambient temperature in which the engine operates. Old engine oil can cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin and for long periods of time. Wear protective gloves to avoid touching used oil. If contact with the oil is unavoidable, you are advised to wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible. Dispose of old oil in the correct way as it is highly polluting.

Page 55: Injection Pump Non-Return Valve
FUEL SYSTEM Injection pump non-return valve The exhaust union has a non-return valve A. The purpose of this val- ve is to improve the injection phase by expelling the air in the fuel and 225-315-350 preventing it from being sucked in by the pump during the intake pha- se. This also ensures that the engine stops promptly as soon as the stopping device is activated by means of the solenoid valve.

Set the flow governor lever of the injection pump in the stop position and lock it there. Turn the flywheel in the engine rotation direction. proceed slowly du- ring the compression phase. The fuel that flows from tube 2 will tend to diminish. Stop as soon as it creases to drip (one drop of fuel every 30-40 seconds is tolerated): this is the static injection lead. Make sure that B coincides with A. See fig. 117-118 if B does not coincide with A. Use a temporary tank if the engine is not fitted with one. Here again, it is essential to make sure that the fuel level is no more than 10-15 cm above the injectionm pump.

Page 58: Injection Advance Adjustment
FUEL SYSTEM Injection advance adjustment Injection advance beyond the thickness of gasket A is determined by the thickness of the pad inside the injection tappet. To alter the value of injection advance the pad must be replaced with another of a suitable thickness (see fig. 117-118). To extract pad B, use a rod with a suction cap or magnet at one end. The replacement pads supplied have 10 different thicknesses (between 4.0 and 4.9mm). To alter the value of injection advance the pad must be replaced with another of a suitable thickness (see fig. 117-118). If reference point B does not coincide with A follow the examples in fig. 117-118. 1) Example of delayed injection advance (fig. 117): to make B match up with A, replace the pad with a thicker one (fig. 116). 2) Example of early injection advance (fig. 118): to make B match up with A, replace the pad with a thinner one (fig. 116). -

Need help?
Do you have a question about the KD225 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
KD225 lost prime to/from injector pump. Need instructions for re-priming the curcuit. Help
To re-prime the injector pump circuit for the Kohler KD225, use the optional feed pump if the tank is not supplied with the engine. The feed pump is a diaphragm type operated by a camshaft eccentric through a drive rod. It helps supply fuel to the injection pump, allowing the circuit to be filled and primed.
