WARNING: Accidental Starts!

Before extending and checking retractable starter rope,

remove the spark plug lead to prevent the engine from

starting accidentally. Make sure the equipment is in

neutral.

For an Electric Start Engine – Activate the

starter switch. Release the switch as soon as the

engine starts.

NOTE: Do not crank the engine continuously for

more than 10 seconds at a time. If the

engine does not start, allow a 60 second

cool down period between starting

attempts. Failure to follow these

guidelines can burn out the starter motor.

NOTE: Upon start-up, a metallic ticking may

occur. This is caused by hydraulic lifter

leakdown during storage. Run the engine

for 5 minutes. The noise will normally

cease in the first minute. If noise

continues, run the engine at mid-throttle

for 20 minutes. If noise persists, take the

engine to your local Kohler Service outlet.

NOTE: If the engine develops sufficient speed to

disengage the starter but does not keep

running (a false start), engine rotation

must be allowed to come to a complete

stop before attempting to restart the

engine. If the starter is engaged while the

flywheel is rotating, the starter pinion and

flywheel ring gear may clash, resulting in

damage to the starter.

If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut

off starter immediately. Do not make further

attempts to start the engine until the condition is

corrected. Do not jump start using another battery

(refer to “Battery”). See your Kohler Engine

Service Dealer for trouble analysis.

3. For Operation – After the engine starts, move the

throttle/choke control from the “fast/choke on”

position and set the desired engine operating

speed (between the “slow” and “fast” position).

The engine/equipment may be operated during

the warm-up period, but it may be necessary to

leave the choke partially on until the engine warms

up.

Stopping

1. Remove the load by disengaging all PTO

attachments.

2a. For engines without a shutdown solenoid:

Move the throttle to the ‘‘slow‘‘ or ‘‘low’’ idle

position. Allow the engine to run at idle for 30-60

seconds; then stop the engine.

b. For engines equipped with a shutdown

solenoid: Position the throttle control somewhere

between half and full throttle; then stop the engine.

Battery

A 12 volt battery is normally used. Refer to the

operating instructions of the equipment this engine

powers for specific battery requirements.

If the battery charge is not sufficient to crank the

engine, recharge the battery (see page 12).

Operating

Angle of Operation

This engine will operate continuously at angles up

to 25°. Check oil level to assure crankcase oil level is

at the “F” mark on the dipstick.

Refer to the operating instructions of the equipment

this engine powers. Because of equipment design or

application, there may be more stringent restrictions

regarding the angle of operation.

NOTE: Do not operate this engine continuously at

angles exceeding 25° in any direction. Engine

damage could result from insufficient

lubrication.

Cooling

NOTE: If debris builds up on the grass screen or

other cooling air intake areas, stop the engine

immediately and clean. Operating the engine

with blocked or dirty air intake and cooling

areas can cause extensive damage due to

overheating.

WARNING: Hot Parts!

Engine components can get extremely hot from

operation. To prevent severe burns, do not touch these

areas while the engine is running–or immediately after

it is turned off. Never operate the engine with heat

shields or guards removed.

Engine Speed

NOTE: Do not tamper with the governor setting to

increase the maximum engine speed.

Overspeed is hazardous and will void the

engine warranty.
