Procedure

  1. Unhook the latches or loosen the cover retaining knob and remove the cover.
  2. Remove the wing nut, element cover, and air cleaner element.
  3. Remove the precleaner (if so equipped) from the paper element. Service the precleaner as described in “Precleaner Service”.
  4. Do not wash the paper element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the element. Replace a dirty, bent, or damaged element with a genuine Kohler element. Handle new elements carefully; do not use if the sealing surfaces are bent or damaged.
  5. Check the rubber sleeve seal for any damage or deterioration. Replace as necessary.
  6. Reinstall the paper element, precleaner, element cover, and wing nut.
  7. Reinstall the air cleaner cover and secure with the two latches or the retaining knob. Precleaner Element Precleaner Element
