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 buildingor 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. Declutch 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.

Starting

1. Place the throttle control midway between the

slow and fast positions. Place the choke control

(non-EFI engines only) into the on position.

2. Start the engine by activating the key switch.

Release the switch as soon as the engine starts.

EFI Engines Only – Initial Starting or After

Running out of Fuel (Dry System).

a. Turn the key switch to the on position for

one minute. Allow the fuel pump to cycle and

prime the system. Turn the key switch off.

b. Turn the key switch to the start position,

crank and start engine.

c. If the engine fails to start, repeat steps a and

b. If the engine does not start after two

priming intervals, contact your Kohler Engine

Service Dealer for further assistance.

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 service assistance.

Carbureted Engines Only:

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. For Carbureted 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.

For Carbureted Engines Equipped With A

Shutdown Solenoid: Position the throttle control

between half and full throttle; then stop the

engine.

For EFI Engines: Move the throttle to the slow or

idle position; turn key off to stop engine.

Battery

A 12 volt battery is normally used. Refer to the

operating instructions of the equipment this engine

powers for specific battery requirements.
