operator’s hands, move the Nozzle back and  
forth in a sweeping motion over the debris.  
5. Secure the attachment of the Discharge Extension  
Hose to the Discharge Nozzle with the supplied Hose  
Clamp. When installing the Hose Clamp, make sure it  
is positioned between the 1st and 2nd coil of the  
Discharge Extension Hose. Once in position, tighten  
the clamp to ensure a firm connection of the two parts.  
Rotate the Hose Assembly 90 degrees at the  
Inlet to allow the Intake Nozzle to lay sideways  
on the ground. By placing the Nozzle in this  
position, debris can be raked into the Nozzle by  
the operator.  
6. Insert the opposite end of the Discharge Extension  
Hose into the receiver box on your truck. In the event  
the Hose is too long for your application, you can  
choose to cut it to a shorter length. If you shorten the  
length of this hose, make sure enough hose is left to  
properly install and secure it into the truck.  
2. While large amounts of debris can be vacuumed  
quickly with this machine, caution must be taken to  
avoid blocking the airflow into the Nozzle.  
3. To increase the life of your Hose, periodically rotate  
the Intake Nozzle with respect to the Hose. This will  
allow the hose to wear more evenly.

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  
and resume operation.  
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  
10  
Leaded gasoline is not recommended and must  
not be used on models where exhaust emissions  
are regulated.  
2. Fuel Warnings: Gasoline is extremely  
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  
and to insure easy starting, do not use  
gasoline left over from the previous  
season.  
b. Do not add oil to the gasoline.  
c. Do not overfill the fuel tank.  
d. Filler neck should not contain fuel.

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  
Assembly Figure  
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.  
g) Reinstall the end cap so the dust ejector valve is  
down and secure with the two retaining clips.  
See Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner Assembly  
Figure.

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.
