NOTE: Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility

to improve starting. Do not use gasoline le

over from summer.

4. Electric Start Models: Be sure the baery is in

good condition. A warm baery has much more

starting capacity than a cold baery.

Starting

See Figures

, and

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide can cause severe

nausea, fainting or death.

Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and

never run the engine in a closed

building or conned area.

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 conned area.

1. Turn the fuel shut-o valve (A) to the ON

position. See Figure 6.

2. For a Cold Engine – Place the throle control (A)

midway between the SLOW and FAST positions.

See Figure 7. Place the choke control (A) into the

ON position. See Figure 8.

For a Warm Engine (Normal Operating

Temperatures) – Place the throle control (A)

midway between the SLOW and FAST positions.

A warm engine usually does not require the

choke on. See Figure 7.

NOTE: The choke position for starting may vary

depending upon temperature and other

factors. Once engine is running and warm,

turn choke to OFF position (A). See Figure 9.

3. Start the engine as follows:

For Retractable Start Engine – Turn engine On/

O switch (A) to the ON position. See Figure 10.

SLOWLY pull the starter handle (A) until just

past compression – STOP! Return starter handle,

and pull rmly with a smooth, steady motion

to start. Pull the handle straight out to avoid

excessive rope wear from the starter rope guide.

See Figure 11.

NOTE: Extend the starting rope periodically and

check its condition. If the rope is frayed,

have it replaced immediately by your Kohler

Engine Service Center.

4. Gradually return the choke control to the OFF

position (A) aer the engine starts and warms up.

See Figure 9.

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

See Figures

, and

1. If possible, remove the load.

2. Move the throle control (A) to the SLOW or

LOW idle position. Allow the engine to run at

idle for 30–60 seconds. See Figure 12.

3. Turn On/O switch or key switch (A) to the OFF

position. Move throle to the STOP position if

equipped. See Figure 13.

4. Close the fuel shut-o valve (A). See Figure 14.

Operating

Angle of Operation

Continuous operation at angles up to 25° with 1/2-full

fuel tank. Before operation check oil level to ensure

crankcase oil level is correct. (Refer to Check Oil Level.)

Intermient operation, up to one minute at angles up

to 30° with 1/2-full fuel tank. Check oil level to ensure

crankcase oil level is correct. (Refer to Check Oil Level.)

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,

because engine damage could result from

insucient lubrication.

Cooling

WARNING

Hot Parts can cause severe burns.

Do not touch engine while operating

or just aer stopping.

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To

prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while the engine

is running, or immediately aer it is turned o. Never operate

the engine with heat shields or guards removed.

NOTE: If debris builds up on the recoil starter

screen or other cooling 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. (Refer to Clean Air Intake/Cooling

Areas.)

To ensure proper cooling, make sure the recoil starter

screen, cooling ns, and other external surfaces of the

engine are kept clean at all times.

Before each season of operation, clean the cooling

ns and external surfaces as necessary. Reinstall the

blower housing and other cooling shrouds.
