Engine Oil and Fuel:
A. Oil Recommendations: using the proper type and
weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important.
It is also important to check oil daily and change oil
regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty
oil, causes premature engine wear and failure.
e) Inspect the Discharge Chute for debris and
remove any debris clogging this area.
f) In order to re-assemble the removed parts,
please refer to the Assembly Instructions
found in this manual. After the unit is
re-assembled, reconnect the spark plug wires

1. Oil Type: Use high quality detergent oil of API
(American Petroleum Institute) service class
SC; SH, SJ or higher. Select the viscosity based
on the air temperature at the time of operation
as shown in the following table.
E. Re-filling the Gas Tank
1. If the unit was being operated, make sure the
engine has been turned “off” and is allowed to cool
off completely.
2. Once you have determined the engine is cool, fill the
tank with the proper fuel. Take extra caution when
filling the tank not to over-fill it. The fuel
recommendations are found in the Engine Oil and
Fuel section of this manual.
Transportation:
NOTE: Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil
or extending oil change intervals longer than recommended can
cause engine damage. A logo or symbol on oil containers
identifies the API service class and SAE viscosity grade.
A. Preparing the TruckLoader Unit for
Transportation
1. Make sure the engine is off.
B. Fuel Recommendations:
2. Disconnect the Carabiner (720487) from the hose band.
1. Fuel Type: For best results use only clean,
fresh, unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker
octane rating of 87 or higher. In countries using
the Research method, it should be 90-octane
minimum. Unleaded gasoline is recommended
as it leaves less combustion chamber deposits
and reduces harmful exhaust emissions.
3. Attach the Carabiner to the chain link closest to the
Boom Arm Assembly.
4. Rotate the Boom Arm Assembly toward the vehicle to
allow the locking bosses on the Arm and Column to
line up. Once the bosses are aligned, insert the Linch

flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Store gasoline only in approved containers, in
well-ventilated, unoccupied buildings, a way
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 gasoline as a
cleaning agent.
a. Gasoline/Alcohol blends: Gasohol
(up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90%
unleaded gasoline by volume) is
approved as a fuel for Kohler engines.
Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not
approved.
b. Gasoline/Ether blends: Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded
gasoline blends (up to a maximum of
15% MTBE by volume) are approved
as a fuel for Kohler engines. Other
gasoline/ether blends are not approved.
a. To minimize gum deposits in fuel system

B. Liner Replacement (Figure #7)
1. Complete Steps 1 thru 7 found in section A
(Removing and Replacing the Fan and Talon Ring).
e) Reinstall the oil fill cap and tighten securely.
Reinstall the dipstick. NOTE: To prevent
extensive engine wear or damage, always
maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase.
Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the “L” mark or over the “F” mark on
the dipstick.
2. Unbolt and remove the hardware securing the Liner to
the Housing.
3. Remove the Liner from the housing by wrapping it
and pulling it through the front of the housing.
4. When installing the new Liner into the Housing,
make sure the chamfered edge of the liner is installed
in the vertical position at the discharge opening of
the housing.
2. Oil Filter Change: Replace the oil filter at least every
other oil change (every 200 hours of operation).
Always use a genuine Kohler oil filter, Part No. 12
050 OI-S. Replace the oil filter as follows:
5. As you position the Liner against the wall of the
Housing, make sure the holes of the liner line up with
the slots in the Housing.
a) Follow steps A to C from the above “Change
Oil” section.
b) Allow the oil filter to drain.
6. Secure the Liner to the Housing (one hole at a time)
with the 10 bolts, washers, and nuts. When installing
the hardware, insert the bolts through the inside
surface of the liner and install the washers and nuts to
the outside face of the Housing.
c) Before removing the oil filter, clean the area
around the oil filter to keep dirt and debris out
of the engine. Remove the old filter. Wipe off
the surface where the oil filter mounts.
d) Place a new replacement filter in a shallow pan
with the open end up. Pour new oil, of the
proper type, in through the threaded center hole.
Stop pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of
the threads. Allow a minute or two for the oil to
be absorbed by the filter material.
7. Complete Steps 8 thru 13 found in section A
(Removing and Replacing the Fan and Talon Ring).
C. Oil and Filter Change
1. Oil Change: Change oil after every 100 hours of
operation (more frequently under severe conditions).
Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as
specified in the “Viscosity Grades” above. Change
the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow
more freely and carry away more impurities. Make
sure the engine is level when filling, checking, and
changing the oil. Change the oil as follows:
e) Put a drop of oil on your fingertip and wipe it
on the rubber gasket.
f) Install the replacement oil filter to the filter
adapter or oil cooler. Turn the oil filter
clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts the
filter adapter or oil cooler, then tighten the filter
an additional 2/3 to 1 turn.
a) To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine,
clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick
and drain valve before moving to the next step.
g) Follow steps 4-5 from above “Change Oil”
section. Start the engine and check for oil leaks.
Correct any leaks before placing the engine into
service. Check oil level to be sure it is up to but
not over the “F” mark.
b) Attach a 1/2” I.D. hose to the fitting on the oil
drain valve. Place the other end of the hose in
an oil pan. Next, remove the oil fill cap and
dipstick, then open the oil drain valve (counter-
clockwise) to begin drainage. Be sure to allow
ample time for complete drainage.
c) Once all the oil has drained, close the valve
(clockwise) and remove the hose.
d) Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper
type, to the “F” mark on the dipstick. Refer to
“Oil Type” on page 11. Always check the level
with the dipstick before adding more oil.

D. Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner
E. Spark Plug
1. Every 250 hours of operation (more often under
extremely dusty or dirty conditions), replace the main
paper element and check inner element. Follow
these steps.
1. Every 200 hours of operation, remove the spark
plugs, check condition, and reset the gap or replace
with new plugs as necessary. The standard spark
plug is a Champion@ RC12YC (Kohler Part No.
12 132 02-S). A high-performance spark plug,
Champion@ Premium Gold 2071 (used on Pro
Series engines, Kohler Part No. 12 132 06-S) is also
available. Equivalent alternate brand plugs can also
be used.
a) Unhook the two retaining clips and remove the
end cap from the air cleaner housing.
b) Pull the air cleaner element out of the housing.
See Removing Elements Figure.
c) After the main element is removed, check the
condition of the inner element. It should be
replaced whenever it appears dirty, typically
every other time the main element is replaced.
Clean the area around the base of the inner
element before removing it, so dirt does not get
into the engine.
a) Before removing the spark plug, clean the area
around the base of the plug to keep dirt and
debris out of the engine.
b) Remove the plug and check its condition.
Replace the plug if worn or reuse is
questionable. NOTE: Do not clean the spark
plug in a machine using abrasive grit. Some grit
could remain in the spark plug and enter the
engine causing extensive wear and damage.
c) Check the gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust
the gap to 0,76 mm (0.030 in,) by carefully
bending the ground electrode.
d) Reinstall the spark plug into the cylinder head.
Torque the spark plug to 24.4-29J N-m
(18-22 ft. lb,). 4. Reinstall the spark plug into
the cylinder head. Torque the spark plug to
24.4-29J N-m(18-22 ft. lb,).
Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner

Removing Elements Figure
d) Do not wash the paper element and inner
element or use pressurized air, this will damage
the elements. Replace dirty, bent or damaged
elements with new genuine Kohler elements as
required. Handle new elements carefully; do not
use if the sealing surfaces are bent or damaged.
e) Check all parts for wear, cracks or damage.
Replace any damaged components.
f) Install the new inner element, Kohler Part No.
25 083 04-S followed by the outer element,
Kohler Part No. 25 083 01-S. Slide each fully
into place in the air cleaner housing.

Storage:
A. Preparing for Long-Term (Two Months or
More) Storage
4. Remove the spark plugs and add one tablespoon of
engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install plugs and
ground spark plug leads-do not connect the leads to
the plugs. Crank the engine two or three revolutions.
1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the unit
(including engine).
2. Change the Oil and Filter while the engine is
still warm.
5. Store the unit and all of it’s components in a clean,
dry, well ventilated, non-child accessible, sheltered
area that is out of sun light and high ambient
temperatures.
3. The fuel system must be completely emptied, or the
gasoline must be treated with a stabilizer to prevent
deterioration. To empty the fuel system, drain the fuel
tank and carburetor or run the engine until the tank
and system are empty. Drained fuel may only be
stored for 30 days. If a stabilizer is chosen, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation by adding the correct
amount of additive for the amount of fuel to be stored.
Fill the tank with this clean, fresh gasoline and run the
engine for 2 to 3 minutes to get the stabilized fuel into
the carburetor.
