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 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 4.

2. Declutch all possible external loads.

3. Set speed control at part throttle position.

4. A warm battery has much more starting capacity

than a cold battery.

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

gasoline has a higher volatility to improve starting.

Do not use gasoline left over from summer.

Starting

1. On a Cold Engine – Place the throttle control

midway between the "slow" and "fast"

positions. Place the choke control into the "on"

position.

On a Warm Engine (normal operating

temperatures) – Place the throttle control

midway between the "slow" and "fast"

positions. Place the choke control into the "off"

position.

Operating Instructions

2. Start the engine as follows:

For a Retractable Start Engine – SLOWLY pull

the starter handle until just past compression –

STOP! Return starter handle, pull firmly with a

smooth, steady motion to start. Pull the handle

straight out to avoid excessive rope wear from the

starter rope guide.

Extend the starting rope periodically and check its

condition. If the rope is frayed, have it replaced

immediately by your Kohler Engine Service

Dealer.

Before extending and checking the retractable starter

rope, remove the spark plug leads to prevent the

engine from starting accidentally. Ground the leads to

prevent sparks that could cause fires. Make sure the

equipment is in neutral.

For an Electric Start Engine – Activate the

starter switch. Release the switch as soon as the

engine starts.

NOTE: Do not crank the engine continuously for

NOTE: If the engine develops sufficient speed to

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 page 7). See your Kohler

Engine Service Dealer for trouble analysis.

WARNING: Accidental Starts!

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.

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 starter is

engaged while the flywheel is rotating,

the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear

may clash, resulting in damage to the

starter.
