Kohler Command PRO ECH749 Owner's Manual

Storage

See Figure

If the engine will be out of service for two months or

more, follow these storage procedures:

Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine. Avoid

spraying water at the wiring harness or any of the

electrical components.

Change the oil and filter while the engine is still

warm from operation. Refer to Change Oil and

Filter.

The fuel system must be completely emptied,

or the gasoline must be treated with a fuel

stabilizer to prevent deterioration. If you choose

to use a fuel stabilizer, follow the manufacturers

recommendations, and add the correct amount

for the capacity of the fuel system.

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh gasoline.

Run the engine for 2-3 minutes to get stabilized

fuel into the fuel system. Close fuel shut off

valve (if equipped) when unit is being stored or

transported. To empty the system, run the engine

until the tank and fuel system are empty.

Remove the spark plugs. Add one tablespoon of

engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install plugs,

but do not connect the plug leads. Crank the

engine two or three revolutions.

Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable or use a

Battery Minder trickle charger while the unit is in

storage.

Store the engine in a clean, dry place.
