Starting

Carbon Monoxide can cause

severe nausea, fainting or death.

Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes.

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous

carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is

odorless, colorless, and can cause death if

inhaled.

Rotating Parts can cause severe

injury.

Stay away while engine is in

operation.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away

from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never

operate engine with covers, shrouds, or

guards removed.

NOTE: Choke position for starting may vary

depending upon temperature and other

factors. Once engine is running and

warm, turn choke to OFF position.

NOTE: Extend starter cord periodically to

check its condition. If cord is frayed

have it replaced immediately by a

Kohler authorized dealer.

NOTE: Do not crank engine continuously for

more than 10 seconds. Allow a 60

second cool down period between

starting attempts. Failure to follow

these guidelines can burn out starter

motor.

NOTE: If engine develops sufﬁ cient speed to

disengage starter but does not keep

running (a false start), engine rotation

must be allowed to come to a complete

stop before attempting to restart

engine. If starter is engaged while

ﬂ ywheel is rotating, starter pinion and

ﬂ ywheel ring gear may clash, resulting

in damage to starter.

1. Turn fuel shut-off valve to ON position (if

equipped).

2. Turn engine on/off switch to ON position (if

equipped).

3. Start engine as follows:

Cold engine: Place throttle control midway

between SLOW and FAST positions. Place

choke control into ON position.

Warm engine: Place throttle control midway

between SLOW and FAST positions. Return

choke to OFF position as soon as engine

starts. A warm engine usually does not

require choke on.

4. Retractable Start: Slowly pull starter handle

until just past compression-STOP! Return

starter handle; ﬁ rmly pull straight out to avoid

excessive rope wear from starter rope guide.

Electric Start: Activate starter switch.

Release switch as soon as engine starts. If

starter does not turn engine over, shut off

starter immediately. Do not make further

attempts to start engine until condition is

corrected. Do not jump start. See your Kohler

authorized dealer for trouble analysis.

5. Gradually return choke control to OFF

position after engine starts and warms up.

Engine/equipment may be operated during

warm up period, but it may be necessary to

leave choke partially on until engine warms

up.

Cold Weather Starting Hints

1. Use proper oil for temperature expected.

2. Disengage all possible external loads.

3. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade

fuel has higher volatility to improve starting.

Stopping

1. If possible, remove load by disengaging all

PTO driven attachments.

2. If equipped, move throttle control to slow or

idle position; stop engine.

3. If equipped, close fuel shut-off valve.

Angle of Operation

Refer to operating instructions of equipment

this engine powers. Do not operate this engine

exceeding maximum angle of operation; see

speciﬁ cation table. Engine damage could result

from insufﬁ cient lubrication.

Engine Speed

NOTE: Do not tamper with governor setting to

increase maximum engine speed.

Overspeed is hazardous and will void

warranty.

High Altitude Operation

If this engine is operated at an altitude of 4000

ft. (1219 meters) or above, a high altitude

carburetor kit is required. To obtain high altitude

carburetor kit information or to ﬁ nd a Kohler

authorized dealer, visit KohlerEngines.com or

call 1-800-544-2444 (U.S. and Canada).

This engine should be operated in its original

conﬁ guration below 4000 ft. (1219 meters).

Operating this engine with the wrong engine

conﬁ guration at a given altitude may increase

its emissions, decrease fuel efﬁ ciency and

performance, and result in damage to the

engine.
