FUELING
WARNING: EXPLOSIVE FUEL!
DIESEL FUEL IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE
AND ITS VAPORS CAN EXPLODE IF IGNITED.
STORE DIESEL FUEL ONLY IN APPROVED
CONTAINERS,
IN
WELL
VENTILATED,
UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS AND AWAY FROM
SPARKS OR FLAMES.
DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE
THE ENGINE IS HOT OR RUNNING, SINCE
SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE IF IT COMES
IN CONTACT WITH HOT PARTS OR SPARKS
FROM IGNITION. DO NOT START THE ENGINE
NEAR SPILLED FUEL.
NEVER USE DIESEL FUEL AS A CLEANING

NOTES:
1. Be sure the engine oil, engine oil storage containers,
and engine oil filling equipment are free of sediments
and water.
2. Change the engine oil after the first 50 hours of operation
and then at every 200 hours thereafter.
3. Select the oil viscosity based on the ambient temperature
where the engine is being operated. See SAE Service
Grade Viscosity Chart.
4. Kohler does not recommend the use of engine oil
“additives”.
ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
Select the appropriate engine oil viscosity based on the
ambient temperature and use the SAE Service Grade
Viscosity Chart.
TO FILL WITH OIL:
1. Make sure engine is level.
2. Remove oil cap/dipstick from either location and wipe
with clean cloth.
3. Add indicated amount of engine oil at either one of the
engine oil filler ports.
4. Wait one minute and check oil level.
5. Add more oil if necessary.
6. Fully reinsert oil cap/dipstick and hand tighten. Over-
tightening the oil cap/dipstick will damage it.
