1.1 Manual's purpose
GENERAL INFORMATION
• This manual contains the instructions needed to carry out
proper use and maintenance of the engine, therefore it must
always be available, for future reference when required.
• This manual is an integral part of the engine, in the event of
transfer or sale, it must be attached to it.
• Safety pictograms can be found on the engine and it is the
operator's responsibility to keep them in a perfectly visible
place and replace them when they are no longer legible.
• Information, description and pictures in this manual reflect
the state of the art at the time of the marketing of engine.
• However, development on the engines is continuous.
Therefore, the information within this manual is subject to
change without notice and without obligation.
• KOHLER reserves the right to make, at any time, changes in
the engines for technical or commercial reasons.
• These changes do not require KOHLER to intervene on the
marketed production up to that time and not to consider
this manual as inappropriate.
• Any additional section that KOHLER will deem necessary to
supply some time after the main text shall be kept together
with the manual and considered as an integral part of it.
• The information contained within this manual is the
sole property of KOHLER. As such, no reproduction or
replication in whole or part is allowed without the express
written permission of KOHLER.
1.2 Glossary and Definitions
The paragraphs, tables and figure are divided into chapter with their progressive numbers.
Ex: Par. 2.3 - chapter 2 paragraph 3.
Tab. 3.4 - chapter 3 table 4.
Fig. 5.5 - chapter 5 figure 5.
The references of the objects described in the text and in figure and number are indicated by letters, which are always and
only related to the paragraph you are reading unless there are specific references to other figures or paragraphs.
NOTE: All data, measurements and relevant symbols are shown in the glossary section.
1.3 Emission-Related Installation Instructions
Failing to follow the instructions in the applications guidebook when installing a certified engine in a piece of nonroad equipment
violates federal law (40 CFR 1068.105(b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.
OEM must apply a separate label with the following statement: “ULTRA LOW SULFUR FUEL ONLY” near the fuel inlet.
Ensure you are installing an engine appropriately certified for your application. Constant speed engines may only be installed
on constant speed equipment for constant speed operation.
If you install the engine in a way that makes the engine's emission control information label hard to read during normal engine
maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment, as described in 40 CFR 1068.105.
1.4 Service request
• The complete and updated list of authorized Kohler Co. service centers can be found on websites:
www.kohlerengines.com & dealers.kohlerpower.it
• If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities or the location of the nearest
Kohler Co. authorized service location, you should contact Kohler Co. at 1-800-544-2444 or access our website at
www.kohlerengines.com (USA and North American).

2.4 Oil
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
2
Important
• The engine may be damaged if operated with improper oil
level.
• Do not exceed the MAX level because a sudden increase
in engine rpm could be caused by its combustion.
• Use only the recommended oil to ensure adequate
protection, efficiency and service life of the engine.
• The use of lubricants other than recommended may
shorten the engine life.
• Viscosity must be appropriate to the ambient temperature
to which the engine is to be exposed (Par. 2.4.1).
2.4.1 SAE oil classification
• In the SAE classification, oils are identified according
to viscosity without considering any other qualitative
characteristic.
2.2
VISCOSITY SAE
RECOMMENDED OIL
Danger
• Prolonged skin contact with the exhausted engine oil can
cause cancer of the skin.
• If contact with oil cannot be avoided, thoroughly wash your
hands with soap and water as soon as possible.
• For the exhausted oil disposal, refer to Par. 6.6 DISPOSAL
and SCRAPPING.
• The code is made up of two numbers. The first number
refers to the viscosity when cold, for use during winter
("W"= winter), while the second number is for viscosity at
high temperatures.
15W-40 (-15°C ÷ +50°C)
10W-30 (-25°C ÷ +40°C)
10W-40 (-25°C ÷ +50°C)
5W-30 (-30°C ÷ +40°C)
0W-40 (-40°C ÷ +50°C)
WITH
SPECIFICATIONS
• Low S.A.P.S. technology (fuel with low Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulfur content) keeps catalyst in good working conditions.
The presence of sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur causes with time the catalyst clogging and its consequent inefficiency.
• For Mid S.A.P.S oil sequence the sulfated ash level is the same as API CJ-4 ≤ 1.0% but as per ACEA standardization those
oils are referenced as mid SAPS.
• Filtration of oils is critical to proper operation and lubrication; always change filters regularly as specified in this manual.
API CJ-4 Low S. A . P.S
ACEA
E9 Mid S.A.P.S.
E6 Low S.A.P.S.
