*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.

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.

Operating Instructions

Also read the operating instructions of the equipment this engine powers.

Full Pressure w/Full Flow Filter

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. a. For a Single-Lever Throttle/Choke Control:

Place the lever into ''fast/choke on'' position.

See Figure 5.

b. For Separate Levers: Place the throttle

control midway between the ''slow'' and

''fast'' positions. Place the choke control into

the ''on'' position.
