Mounted Controls.

2. Start the engine by activating the key 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, or

permanently damage, 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 authorized

Kohler Engine Service Dealer.

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.

Figure 7. Location of Control Levers.

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 on

this page). See your Kohler Engine Service Dealer for

service assistance.

3. For a Cold Engine – Gradually return the choke

control to the OFF position after the engine starts

and warms up.

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.

4. For a Warm Engine – Return choke to OFF

position as soon as engine starts.

Stopping

1. Remove the load by disengaging all PTO driven

attachments.

2. 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 14).

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.
