WARNING!
Before performing
any mainte-
nance or repairs, disengage
the PTO, move the
drive control
levers fully outward

Changing the Engine
Oil
_
ARNING! If the engine has been recently run,
the engine, muffler
and surrounding
metal
surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the
skin. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
To complete
an oil change, proceed as follows:
I.
Run the engine fora short time towarm
the engine
oil. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more
impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain port on the left side of the engine.
3. Pop open the protective
cap on the end of the oil drain
valve to expose the drain port. Refer to Figure 6-I.
Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick
from the oil fill tube.
4. Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual) onto
the oil drain port. Route the opposite
end of the hose
into an appropriate
oil collection
container
with at least
a 2.0 quart capacity, to collect the used oil.
5. Pinch the tabs on the oil drain valve, then pull outward
to begin draining
oil. See Fig 6-I.
Figure6-1
6. After the oil has finished
draining, push the end of
the oil drain valve back in, until the tabs click into
place. Re-cap the end of the oil drain valve to keep
debris from entering the drain port.
7. Replace the oil filter, and refill the engine with new
oil as instructed
in the Kohler Owner's Manual.
AirCleaner
Service the pre-cleaner
and cartridge/air
cleaner ele-
ment as instructed
in the Kohler Owner's Manual.
SparkPlug
The spark plugs should be cleaned and the gap reset
once a season. Refer to the Kohler Owner's Manual for
correct plug type and gap specifications.
Hydrostatic Transmission
The zero turn tractor is equipped
with dual integrated
hydrostatic
pumps/transaxles
that are sealed and are
maintenance-free.
Fluid levels cannot be checked and
fluid cannot be added or changed.
Steering Lubrication
The steering arms, pivot shafts, and axles must be
lubricated
if ever the steering
effort increases, or after
every 25 hour of operation.
Lubricate using a pressure
grease gun and Cub Cadet 251H EP grease, or an
equivalent
No. 2 multipurpose
lithium
grease.
•
Apply grease through
the lube fitting on the RH
and LH steering
arms which are located at rearward
end of the two steering drag links. See Figure 6-2.
