Engine Identification Numbers

When ordering parts, or in any communication involving

an engine, always give the Model, Specification, and

Serial Numbers of the engine.

The engine identification numbers appear on a decal

affixed to the engine shrouding. Include letter suffixes,

if there are any.

Record your engine identification numbers on the

identification label below (Figure 5) for future reference.

Model Designation

Model CH20S for example: C designates Command

engine, H designates horizontal crankshaft, and 20

designates horsepower. Some model numbers

(CH730) use a numerical designation rather than

horsepower. A letter suffix designates a specific version

as follows:

Suffix Designates

S Electric Start

ST Electric Start/Retractable Start

QS Quiet Model/Electric Start

EP Electric Plant

CS Clutch Model/Electric Start

Operating Instructions

Also read the operating instructions of the equipment

this engine powers.

Pre-Start Checklist

• Check oil level. Add oil if low. Do not overfill.

• Check fuel level. Add fuel if low.

• Check cooling air intake areas and external

surfaces of engine. Make sure they are clean and

unobstructed.

• Check that the air cleaner components and all

shrouds, equipment covers, and guards are in

place and securely fastened.

• Check that any clutches or transmissions are

disengaged or placed in neutral. This is especially

important on equipment with hydrostatic drive. The

shift lever must be exactly in neutral to prevent

resistance which could keep the engine from starting.

WARNING: Lethal Exhaust Gases!

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon

monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless,

and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust

fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or

confined area.

Cold Weather Starting Hints

1. Be sure to use the proper oil for the temperature

expected. See Figure 3 on page 5.

2. Disengage all possible external loads.

3. Be sure the battery is in good condition. A warm

battery has much more starting capacity than a

cold battery.

4. Use fresh winter grade fuel. NOTE: Winter grade

gasoline has higher volatility to improve starting.

Do not use gasoline left over from summer.
