FAQ

What is the **exact** testing parameters for engine compression? keyboard_arrow_down

110 to 120 psi (752 to 828 kPa) indicates good compression for the Kohler K532QS engine when checked with a JDM-59 compression gauge at wide-open throttle and choke.

Specify the **applicable** lubrication requirements for the transmission. keyboard_arrow_down

11 U.S. pints (5.17 I) of JD All-Weather Hydrostatic Fluid or equivalent Type "F" Automotive Automatic Transmission Fluid is required for the transmission, including the filter.

Calculate the **specific** diagnostic procedures for a low oil pressure issue. keyboard_arrow_down

40 to 50 psi should be read on the pressure gauge at idle speed; if incorrect, adjust the oil pressure adjusting screw. If still incorrect, the engine may need disassembly to determine the cause, inspecting the pressure relief valve, oil pump and screen, sleeve bearings, and crankshaft.

What values **designated** for valve clearance requirements? keyboard_arrow_down

0.008 to 0.010 inch (0.20 to 0.25 mm) for the intake valve and 0.017 to 0.020 inch (0.43 to 0.50 mm) for the exhaust valve, measured cold.
