CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL:
1. The "snap lock" oil drain valve is located on the left side of the engine crankcase.
2. Place a suitable container under the drain valve. The fitting of a short piece of
hose to the valve will help direct the oil.
3.
Push
the valve body in and
twist
to clear the detent notch.
4.
Pulling
the valve body outward will start the flow of oil.
NOTE:
Refer to engine manufacturers recommendations for frequency of oil changes.
HOT oil may cause burns. Allow engine to cool before draining oil.
OIL FILL:
1. Push the valve body in and twist into the detent notch.
2. Clean any spilled oil from engine and chassis.
3. Refill engine with type, and quantity of oil recommended by the engine
manufacturer in engine literature.
NOTE:
Engine oil changes on the Estate Series Models will require replacement of the
oil filter. These filters can be obtained from any authorized Kohler engine
dealer.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT:
The use of non-original oil or air filters may result in damage to the engine and a loss
of warranty. Listed on page 39 are the correct Briggs & Stratton part numbers for
each engine in the Estate Series.
