6. WASTE DISPOSAL

6.1 MOTOR OIL DISPOSAL

Engine oil and hydraulic oil are both pollutants to the environment. Dispose of used oil at
a certified recycling center or according to your state and local regulations.

6.2 ENGINE COOLANT DISPOSAL

Dex-Cool© is a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) and water. Ethylene glycol is
a pollutant. Dispose of used engine coolant according to your state and local regulations.

6.3 MERCURY SWITCH DISPOSAL

The tilt switch (PN 1-633782) on this unit contains mercury, a hazardous material. Mercury
that is outside a sealed container vaporizes at room temperature. The vapors are harmful.
Mercury can be absorbed through the skin. Do not attempt to open or repair this switch.
A very small amount of mercury is contained in a hermetically sealed body. The steel
switch is then potted in a hard epoxy in a plastic case. It is unlikely that the mercury will
ever escape from the enclosure. These high performance and reliable inexpensive
switches are recyclable. Mercury is an important and beneficial compound but requires
a) (All models except Kohler 26 HP EFI): Lift armrest on seat. Locate square
tab marked with the numbers 1 through 4. Rotate square tab 1/4 turn to raise
or lower the armrest in approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm) increments. See Figure
17.
