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
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
1. If the unit was being operated, make sure the
engine has been turned “off” and is allowed to cool off
completely.
10W-
5W-20, 5W-30
Kohler “Command”
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.
*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is acceptable, up to 40º.
**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold (below -10ºF).
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.
Transportation:
A. Preparing the TruckLoader Unit for
Transportation
B. Fuel Recommendations:
1. Make sure the engine is off.
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.
Leaded gasoline is not recommended and
must not be used on models where exhaust
emissions are regulated.
2. Disconnect the Carabiner (720487) from the hose band.
3. Attach the Carabiner to the chain link closest to the
Boom Arm Assembly.

approved.
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.
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

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
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.
the dipstick.
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,).

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:
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.
A. Preparing for Long-Term (Two Months or
More) Storage
1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the unit
(including engine).
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.
2. Change the Oil and Filter while the engine is
still warm.
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.
