WARNING: Accidental Starts!

Disabling engine. Accidental starting can cause

severe injury or death. Before working on the engine

or equipment, disable the engine as follows: 1)

Disconnect the spark plug lead(s). 2) Disconnect

negative (-) battery cable from battery.

For an Electric Start Engine – Activate the

starter switch. Release the switch as soon as the

engine starts.

Stopping

1. If possible, remove the load.

2. Move the throttle control to the “slow” or “low”

idle position. Allow the engine to run at idle for

30-60 seconds.

3. Move the throttle control to the “slow” position.

Turn key switch or on/off switch to ‘‘off’’ position.

4. Close fuel shut-off valve.

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 20°. Check oil level to assure crankcase oil is up to

the point of overfilling the filler neck.

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 20° 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.

Figure 8. Electric Start Engine Starter Switch.

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: If the engine develops sufficient speed to

disengage the starter but does not keep

running (a false start), the engine rotation

must be allowed to come to a complete

stop before attempting to restart the

engine. If the start 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.

4. 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.
