Exhaust Emission Control System for CV11,12.5,13,14,15,16,CV460,CV490-493 is EM.

* Horsepower ratings exceed Society of Automotive Engineers Small Engine Test Code J1940. Actual engine horsepower is lower and

affected by, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, fuel pump, etc.), application, engine speed and ambient

operating conditions (temperature, humidity, and altitude). Kohler reserves the right to change product specifications, designs and

equipment without notice and without incurring obligation.

**CV16 engine is equipped with SMART-SPARK

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 exhaust

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 2 on page 4.

2. Declutch all possible external loads.

3. 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. For a Cold Engine or a Warm Engine – Place

the throttle/choke control into the "fast/choke on"

position. This will also place the choke into the

"on" position. See Figure 5.

Figure 5. Throttle Position for Starting Engine.

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.
