Kohler COMMAND CH18 Owner's Manual

Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the
engine.
Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around
the air cleaner system. Keep this area clean. Also
check for loose or damaged components. Replace all
bent or damaged air cleaner components.
NOTE: Operating the engine with loose or damaged
air cleaner components could allow unfiltered
air into the engine causing premature wear
and failure.
Service Precleaner
If so equipped, wash and reoil the precleaner every 25
hours of operation (more often under extremely dusty
or dirty conditions).

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.
When servicing the air cleaner, check the air
cleaner base. Make sure it is secured and not
bent or damaged. Also, check the element cover
for damage or improper fit. Replace all damaged
air cleaner components.
NOTE: If any loose dirt or debris fell on the air
cleaner base when the element was
removed, carefully remove it and wipe
the base clean. Be careful that none of it
drops into the intake throat. Check the
condition of the rubber seal on the air
cleaner stud.
If the condition is
questionable in any way, replace it with
the new seal packaged with the
replacement element.
Reinstall the paper element, precleaner, element
cover, element cover nut, and air cleaner cover.
Secure cover with the cover retaining knob.
