INSPECTION
PRE-INSPECTION
1. Clean the unit, removing dirt and dust—particularly the
engine cooling air inlet.
2. Inspect the air cleaner for dirt and dust. If the air cleaner
is dirty, replace it with a new one. See the Maintenance
section of this manual for more information.
3. Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness.
ENGINE OIL
1. Place the unit on secure, level ground with the engine
turned OFF.

4. Check the oil level on the dipstick (Figure 7). If the oil
level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the
recommended oil type (Table 4). Maximum oil capacity
is 3.2 quarts (3.0 liters). DO NOT overfill.
COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE/SUMMER COOLANT/
WATER)
Kohler recommends antifreeze/summer coolant for use in
their engines, which can be purchased in concentrate (and
mixed with 50% demineralized water) or pre-diluted. See
the Kohler Engine Owner’s Manual for further details.
When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT remove
the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See
Table 5 for engine and radiator coolant capacities.
