WARNING Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored. [. . . ] 8 Operating Range "F" Mark Oil SentryTM Some engines are equipped with optional Oil SentryTM oil pressure switch monitor. If the oil pressure decreases below an acceptable level, the Oil SentryTM will either shut off the engine or activate a warning signal, depending on the application. NOTE: Make sure the oil level is checked BEFORE EACH USE and is maintained up to the "F" mark on dipstick. This includes engines equipped with Oil SentryTM. Change Oil Filter Some engines are equipped with an oil filter. Replace the oil filter every other oil change, in accordance with the "Oil Change Intervals" table above. Always use a genuine Kohler oil filter, Part No. Remove the old filter and wipe off the filter adapter. 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. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the rubber gasket on the new filter. Install the replacement oil filter to the filter adapter. Turn filter clockwise until rubber seal contacts the filter adapter, then tighten filter an additional 2/3 to 1 turn. Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type, to the ``F'' mark on the dipstick. Add an additional 1/2 pint of oil for the filter capacity. See "Specifications" on page 14. Stop the engine, allow a minute for the oil to drain down, and recheck the level on the dipstick. Make sure oil level is up to but not over the ``F'' mark on the dipstick.
