2.4 Oil   Important The engine may be damaged if operated with improper oil level. Do not exceed the MAX level because a sudden increase in engine rpm could be caused by its combustion. Use only the approved oil to ensure adequate protection, efficiency and service life of the engine. The use of lubricants other than recommended may shorten the engine life. Viscosity must be appropriate to the ambient temperature to which the engine is to be exposed.   Danger Prolonged skin contact with the exhausted engine oil can cause cancer of the skin. If contact with oil cannot be avoided, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible. For the exhausted oil disposal, refer to the Par. DISPOSAL and SCRAPPING. 2.4.1 SAE oil classification In the SAE classification, oils are identified according to viscosity without considering any other qualitative characteristic. The code is composed of two numbers, which indicate, and must correspond to, the ambient temperature in which the engine operates, the first number refers to the viscosity when cold, for use during winter ("W"), while the second number is for viscosity at high temperatures.   Use oil viscosity based on the experienced air temperature range during the period between oil changes as indicated in the table below. Kohler / Rehlko X-treme 10W-40 formula pro; X-treme 10W-40; X-treme 5W-40 oil are preferred:       Oils meeting the following specifications are also recommended.   2.2 RECCMMENDED OIL WITH SPECIFICATIONS  API CI-4 or better ACEA E7 or better VISCOSITY SAE 0w-40 (-40°C ÷ +50°C) 10w-40 (-25°C ÷ +50°C)

2.5 Fuel Important Use of other types of fuel could damage the engine. Do not use dirty diesel fuel or mixtures of diesel fuel and water since this will cause serious engine faults. Warning Clean fuel prevents the fuel injectors from clogging. Immediately clean up any spillage during refuelling.  Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers (i.e. coated with zinc). Diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react chemically to each other, producing flaking that quickly clogs filters or causes fuel pump and/or injector failure. Any failure resulting from the use of fuel other than Tab. 2.3, 2.4 will not be covered by warranty.   Cetane number of 40 minimum. Cetane number greater than 47 is preferred, especially for temperatures below –20 °C (–4 °F) or elevations above 1675 m (5500 ft.).   2.3 Certification --> Stage 5 Stage 3A 4 Tier III IV no certification Remarks: Fuel Type --> (EN 590 - DIN 51628) (EN 590 - DIN 51628) Do NOT USE vegetable oils as a biofuel not compliant with EN590 prescription. Grade 1-D S15 For ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) with no arctic fuel available (Grade 1-D S15, Grade 2-D S15, ASTM D 975) use the following additives to prevent possible engine damage with low engine load in cold weather:   Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement+Cetane Boost  Different additives are not allowed. The use of approved additives has no impact on the engine maintenance schedule.   Do NOT USE vegetable oils as a biofuel not compliant with ASTM D975 Grade1 and Grade2 prescription. Grade 2-D S15     2.5.1 Fuel Additives To aid in maintaining performance of the engines injection system, Rehlko has developed a family of fuel additives product for North America market. The Extra Performance Fuel Additive Arctic Formula a fuel conditioner in winter, the Extra Performance Fuel Additive a fuel injector deposit removal and prevention. See your local Rehlko dealer for availability.     2.4 Extra Performance Fuel Additive (North America only) Use Rehlko Injector Cleaner Diesel Fuel Additive before filling the tank once a year or every 500hrs with summer or winter grade fuel. Formulated to clean deposits from injectors and provide lubrication to high pressure pump and injectors to reduce wear, increasing fuel quality. Compatible with all exhaust emission system, including diesel particulate filters (DPFs). Follow all recommended instruction on product label. Extra Performance Fuel Additive Arctic Formula (North America only) Use Rehlko Extra Performance Fuel Additive Arctic Formula, which contains anti-gel chemistry to treat non-winter grad fuel (No. 2-D in North America) during the cold-weather season. This extends the operability to about 10°C (18°F) below the could point. For operability at even lower temperatures, use winter grade fuel. Treat the fuel when the outside temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). For best results, use untreated fuel and follow all recommended instruction on product label. Cloud point is the temperature at which wax begins to from in the fuel causing filters to plug.   Fuel additives with biocide/algaecide functions are allowed in case of storage of fuel in the tank for long periods (one year or more). For suggested brands and types contact Rehlko staff NOTE: These additives must be diluted in the fuel following the product prescribed percentages when filling the tank.    

2.6 Coolant recommendation Kohler / Rehlko XtendedTM prediluted coolant 50% ethylene glycol OAT is preferred.     Coolant meeting the following specifications are also recommended.    A mixture of 50% demineralized water and 50% low silicate ethylene glycol based coolant liquid must be used.Use a Long Life or Extended Life Heavy Duty OAT coolant free of: silicates, phosphates, borates, nitrites and amines. The following ethylene-glycol based engine coolant for all models within KSD engine family may be used:   OAT (Organic Acid Technology) Low Silicate: ASTM D-3306 D-6210 HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) Low Silicate: ASTM D-3306 D-6210   The above coolants in concentrated formulation must be mixed with distilled, deionized, or demineralized water. A pre-mixed formulation (40-60% or 50-50%) can be used directly when available.   Important Do not mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol based coolants. Do not mix OAT and HOAT based coolant. OAT performance life can be drastically reduced if contaminated with nitrite-containing coolants. Never use automotive-type coolants. These coolants do not contain the correct additives to protect heavy – duty diesel engines.   OAT coolants are maintenance free up to 5 years or 4000hrs of operation , provided that the cooling system is topped up using the same type of coolant. Do not mix different coolant types. Test the coolant condition annually with coolant test strips.HOAT are not all maintenance free and it is recommended to have SCA (Supplemental Coolant Additives) added at the first maintenance interval.

3.2 General remarks 3.2.1 Note for OEM When installing the KDI engines, always bear in mind that any variation to the functional systems may result in serious failures to the engine. Any improvement must be verified at KOHLER testing laboratories before application of the engine. In case the approval to a modification is not granted, KOHLER shall not be deemed responsible for any consequential failures or damages to the engine. Those who carry out the use and maintenance on the engine must wear the safety equipment and the accident-prevention guards. KOHLER declines all direct and indirect liability for failure to comply with the standards of conduct contained in this manual. KOHLER cannot consider every reasonably unforeseeable misuse that may cause a potential danger. 3.2.2 Note for end user The following indications are dedicated to the user of the machine in order to reduce or eliminate risks concerning engine operation and the relative routine maintenance work. The user must read these instructions carefully. Failure to do this could lead to serious danger for his personal safety and health and that of any persons who may be in the vicinity of the machine. On starting, make sure that the engine is as horizontal as possible, unless the machine specifications differ. Make sure that the machine is stable to prevent the risk of overturning. The engine must not operate in places containing inflammable materials, in explosive atmospheres, where there is dust that can easily catch fire unless specific, adequate and clearly indicated precautions have been taken and have been certified for the machine. To prevent fire hazards, always keep the machine at least one meter from buildings or from other machinery. Children and animals must be kept at a due distance from operating machines in order to prevent hazards deriving from their operation. Thoroughly wash and clean all the external parts of the engine before performing any operation, in order to avoid the accidental introduction of impurities/foreign bodies. Use only water and/or appropriate products to clean the engine. If cleaning engine with a pressure washer or steam cleaner, it is important to maintain a minimum distance of at least 200mm between the surface to be washed and the nozzle. Avoid directing the nozzle on electrical components, cable connections and sealed rings (oil seals etc). Thoroughly wash and clean the area surrounding the engine following the instructions provided by machine manufacturer. Fuel and oil are inflammable. The tank must only be filled when the engine is off. Before starting, dry any spilt fuel. Make sure that no soundproofing panels and the ground or floor on which the machine is standing have not soaked up any fuel. Fuel vapour is highly toxic. Only refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated place Do not smoke or use open flames when refuelling. During operation, the surface of the engine can become dangerously hot. Avoid touching the exhaust system in particular. Before proceeding with any operation on the engine, stop it and allow it to cool. Always open the radiator plug or expansion chamber with the utmost caution, wearing protective garments and goggles. The coolant fluid is under pressure. Never carry out any inspections until the engine has cooled. If there is an electric fan, do not approach the engine when it is still hot as the fan could also start operating when the engine is at a standstill. The oil must be drained whilst the engine is hot. Particular care is required to prevent burns. Do not allow oil to come into contact with the skin because of the health hazards involved. It is recommended to use an oil intake pump. During operations that involve access to moving parts of the engine and/or removal of rotating guards, disconnect and insulate the negative wire (-) of the battery to prevent accidental short-circuits and to stop the starter motor from being energized. Check belt tension only when the engine is off. Fully tighten the tank cap each time after refuelling. Do not fill the tank right to the top but leave an adequate space for the fuel to expand. To start the engine follow the specific instructions provided in the engine and/or machine operating manual. Do not use auxiliary starting devices not originally installed on the machine (e.g. Startpilot). Before starting, remove any tools that were used to service the engine and/or machine. Make sure that all guards have been refitted. Do not mix fuel with elements such as oil or kerosene. Failure to comply with this prohibition will cause the non-operation of the catalyst and non-observance of the emissions declared by KOHLER. Pay attention to the temperature of the oil filter when the filter itself is replaced. Only check, top up and change the coolant fluid when the engine is off and reached the ambient temperature. Coolant fluid is polluting, it must therefore be disposed of in the correct way. Do not use air and water jets at high pressures on cables, connectors and injectors.   Important Only use the eyebolts A installed by KOHLER to move the engine (Fig. 3.1). The angle between each lifting chain and the eyebolts shall not exceed 15° inwards. The correct tightening of the lifting screws is 25Nm. Do not interpose spacers or washers between the eyebolts and engine head. Engines equipped with an ATS device require regeneration to be inhibited if the engine is used in environments at risk of fire (e.g. forest areas, areas with flammable materials, areas with flammable gases or liquids and any type of combustible material - if the function is available).

4.15 Product preservation Important: If the engines are not to be used for 6 months, they must be protected by carrying out the operations described in Engine storage (up to 6 months) (Par. 4.16). If the engine is still not in use after the first 6 months, it is necessary to carry out a further operation to extend the protection period (more than 6 months) (Par. 4.17). If the engine is not to be used for an extended period, the protective treatment procedure must be repeated within 24 months of the previous one.

4.16 Engine storage (up to 6 months) Before storing the engine check that: The environments are not humid or exposed to bad weather. Cover the engine with a proper protective sheet against dampness and atmospheric contaminants. The place is not near electric panel. Avoid storing the engine in direct contact with the ground.

4.17 Engine storage over 6 months Follow the steps described in Par. 4.16. Engine oil replacement (Par. 4.6). Refuel with fuel additives for long storage. With expansion tank: make sure that the coolant is up to the maximum level. Without expansion tank: Top liquid up until the pipes inside the radiator are covered by about 5 mm. Do not overfill the radiator, but leave room for the fuel to expand. Start the engine and keep it idle at minimum speed for 2 minutes. Bring the engine to 3/4 of the maximum speed for 5÷10 minutes. Turn off the engine. Completely empty the fuel tank. Spray SAE 10W-40 on the exhaust and intake manifolds. Seal the exhaust and intake ducts to prevent foreign bodies from entering. When cleaning the engine, if using a pressure washer or steam cleaning device, avoid directing the nozzle on electrical components, cable connections and sealed rings (oil seals etc). If cleaning engine with a pressure washer or steam cleaner, it is important to maintain a minimum distance of at least 200mm between the surface to be washed and the nozzle - avoiding absolutely electrical components such as alternators, starter motors and engine control units (ECU). Treat non-painted parts with protective products.   If the engine protection is performed according to the suggestions indicated no corrosion damage should occur.

4.18 Engine starting after storage Remove the protective sheet. Use a cloth soaked in degreasing product to remove the protective treatment from the external parts. Inject lubricating oil (no more than 2 cm3) into the intake ducts. Refill the tank with fresh fuel. Make sure that the oil and the coolant are up to the MAX level. Start the engine and keep it idle at MIN speed for a two about minutes. Bring the engine to 75% of MAX rated speed for 5 to 10 minutes. Stop the engine while the oil is still hot, discharge the protective oil in a suitable container. Warning Over time, lubricants and filters lose their properties, so it is important consider whether they need replacing, also based on the criteria described in Par. 4.4. Replace the filters (air, oil, fuel) with original spare parts. Pour new oil (Par. 4.6) up to the MAX level. Empty the cooling circuit completely and pour in the new coolant up to the MAX level (Par. 4.7).
