MAINTENANCE

Kohler Engine
These engines are equipped with a replaceable, high 

density paper air cleaner element. Some engines 

are also equipped with an oiled, foam precleaner 

surrounding the paper element. 
Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the 

engine. Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around 

the air cleaner system. Keep this area clean. Also 

check for loose or damaged components. Replace all 

bent or damaged air cleaner components.
Servicing Precleaner
If so equipped, wash and re-oil the precleaner every 

25 hours of operation (more often under extremely 

dusty or dirty conditions). Replace the precleaner 

annually, or every 100 hours.
