Do not use gasoline left over from the previous season,

to minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to

ensure easy starting.

Do not add oil to the gasoline. Do not overfill the fuel

tank. Leave room for the fuel to expand.

Fuel Type

For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded

gasoline with the pump sticker octane rating of 87 or

higher. In countries using the Research method, it

should be 90 octane minimum.

Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less

combustion chamber deposits. Leaded gasoline may

be used in areas where unleaded is not available and

exhaust emissions are not regulated. Be aware

however, that the cylinder heads may require more

frequent service.

Gasoline/Alcohol blends

Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded

gasoline by volume) is approved as a fuel for Kohler

engines. Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not

approved.

Gasoline/Ether blends

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded

gasoline blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by

volume) are approved as a fuel for Kohler engines.

Other gasoline/ether blends are not approved.

Coolant Recommendations

Use equal parts of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) and

water only. Distilled or deionized water is

recommended, especially in areas where the water

contains a high mineral content. Propylene glycol

based anti-freeze is not recommended.

This mixture will provide protection from -37°C (-34°F)

to 108°C (226°F). For protection and use outside the

indicated temperature limits, follow the anti-freeze

manufacturers instructions on the container, but do not

exceed 70% anti-freeze.

DO NOT use anti-freeze with stop-leak additive(s), or

put any other additives in the cooling system.

Engine Identification Numbers

When ordering parts, or in any communication

involving an engine, always give the Model,

Specification, and Serial Numbers of the engine.

The engine identification numbers appear on a decal

affixed to the engine blower housing. Include letter

suffixes, if there are any.

Record your engine identification numbers on the

identification label (Figure 4) for future reference.
