  • Page 3: Warranty Certificate

    Your off-road, diesel engine emission control system is covered under warranty for a period of five (5) years or 3,000 hours, whichever occurs first, beginning on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser for all constant speed engines with maximum power 19≤kW<37 and rated speed less than 3,000 rpm, all variable speed engines with maximum power 19≤kW<37, and all variable or constant speed engines with maximum power greater than 37 kW. Your off-road, diesel engine emission control system on variable or constant-speed engines with maximum power less than 19 kW, and for constant speed engines with maximum power 19≤kW<37 and rated speed equal to or greater than 3,000 rpm is covered under warranty for a period of two (2) years or 1,500 hours, whichever occurs first. If any emission related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kohler Co. OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Kohler Co. owner’s manual. Kohler Co. recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your heavy-duty off-road engine, but Kohler Co. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all recommended scheduled maintenance. As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that Kohler Co. may deny you warranty coverage if your heavy-duty off- road engine or emission control related component has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. Your engine is designed to operate on commercial diesel fuel (No. 1 or No. 2 low sulfur or ultra low sulfur diesel fuel) only. Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no longer operating in compliance with California’s emissions requirements. You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The Air Resources Board suggests that you present your heavy-duty off-road engine to a Kohler Co. dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.

They may vary significantly according to the type of use.
  • Page 16: 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 combustion 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 increases 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 GRADE AGIP SINT 2000 5W40 specification API SJ/CF ACEA A3-96 B3- 96 MIL-L-46152 D/E. ESSO ULTRA 10W40 specification API SJ/CF ACEA A3-96 MIL- L-46152 D/E.

    Checks and overhaul The operation is carried out by applying a calibrated pressure to the convex side in the middle of the connecting rod stem set on surface plates (fig. 20). Crankshaft It is advisable to check the condition of the crankshaft whenever the engine is demounted and particularly when cylinders and pistons must be replaced following wear due to dust having been intaken. Thoroughly clean inside the oil ducts using a shaped metal point. If there are heavily caked incrustations, immerse the crankshaft into a bath of petroleum or gasoline before proceeding with the scraping operation (fig. 21). When the crankshaft is perfectly clean, check with a micrometer to ascertain wear and main journal ovality in the two perpendicular positions (fig. 22).
