Disassembly/Inspection And Service; Disconnect Spark Plug Leads; Drain Oil From Crankcase And Remove Oil Filter; Disconnect Wire Harness - Kohler Command Pro ECV850 Service Manual

Clean all parts thoroughly as engine is disassembled.
Only clean parts can be accurately inspected
and gauged for wear or damage. There are many
commercially available cleaners that will quickly remove
grease, oil and grime from engine parts. When such a
cleaner is used, follow manufacturer's instructions and
safety precautions carefully.
Make sure all traces of cleaner are removed before
engine is reassembled and placed into operation. Even
small amounts of these cleaners can quickly break down
lubricating properties of engine oil.
NOTE: This disassembly sequence removes some
components in subassemblies to enable
technician to perform internal engine servicing.
Do not disconnect every EFI and electronic
governor component.

plug lead.

Disconnect Fuel Lines
Explosive Fuel can cause fi res and severe
burns.
Do not fi ll fuel tank while engine is hot or
running.
Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved
containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,
away from sparks or fl ames. Spilled fuel could ignite
if it comes in contact with hot parts or sparks from
ignition. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
NOTE: To prevent damage to hoses, use a hose
removal tool.
1. Wrap a shop towel completely around high pressure
fuel line connector and disconnect from Fuel Pump
Module (FPM).
Using a small screwdriver under hose connector,
press release button and slowly pull connector away
from FPM, allowing shop towel to absorb any
residual fuel in high pressure fuel line. Any spilled
fuel must be wiped up immediately.
