Regulator Drain Plug
Preventative Maintenance
The regulator is preset at the factory and generally
requires no further adjustment. No periodic service is
required. Over time, depending on fuel quality, operating
environment, and system performance, fuel deposits
can accumulate inside the regulator. Those regulators
containing a drain plug (Nikki) should be drained every
500 hours to remove any accumulated deposits. See
Figure 5A-23.

securely. If required, a replacement plug is
available as Kohler Part No. X-75-23-S.
Regulator Service
Every 1500 hours it is recommended that
disassembly, cleaning, and resetting of the regulator
be performed using the regulator rebuilding kit
available. Specific instructions are included in the
rebuilding kit. Perform the regulator service following
the instructions provided. As all adjustments and
settings must be reset using specific test equipment,
this must be performed by qualified LP personnel only.
