NOTE:
Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility
to improve starting. Do not use gasoline left
over from summer.

Electric Start Models: Be sure the battery is in
good condition. A warm battery has much more
starting capacity than a cold battery.

Carbon Monoxide can cause severe
nausea, fainting or death.
Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and
never run the engine in a closed
building or confined area.
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.
1.
Turn the fuel shut-off valve (A) to the ON
position. See Figure

2.
For a Cold Engine – Place the throttle control (A)
midway between the SLOW and FAST positions.
See Figure
. Place the choke control (A) into the
7
ON position. See Figure
For a Warm Engine (Normal Operating
Temperatures) – Place the throttle control (A)
midway between the SLOW and FAST positions.
A warm engine usually does not require the
choke on. See Figure
NOTE:
The choke position for starting may vary
depending upon temperature and other
factors. Once engine is running and warm,
turn choke to OFF position (A). See Figure
3.
Start the engine as follows:
For Retractable Start Engine – Turn engine On/
Off switch (A) to the ON position. See Figure
SLOWLY pull the starter handle (A) until just
past compression – STOP! Return starter handle,
and pull firmly with a smooth, steady motion
to start. Pull the handle straight out to avoid
excessive rope wear from the starter rope guide.
See Figure
.

NOTE:
Extend the starting rope periodically and
check its condition. If the rope is frayed,
have it replaced immediately by your Kohler
Engine Service Center.
4.
Gradually return the choke control to the OFF
position (A) after the engine starts and warms up.
See Figure
.

The engine/equipment may be operated during
the warm-up period, but it may be necessary
to leave the choke partially on until the engine
warms up.

Move the throttle control (A) to the SLOW or
LOW idle position. Allow the engine to run at
idle for 30–60 seconds. See Figure

Turn On/Off switch or key switch (A) to the OFF
position. Move throttle to the STOP position if
equipped. See Figure

Close the fuel shut-off valve (A). See Figure
Operating
Angle of Operation
Continuous operation at angles up to 25° with 1/2-full
fuel tank. Before operation check oil level to ensure
crankcase oil level is correct. (Refer to
Intermittent operation, up to one minute at angles up
to 30° with 1/2-full fuel tank. Check oil level to ensure
crankcase oil level is correct. (Refer to
Refer to the operating instructions of the equipment
this engine powers. Because of equipment design or
application, there may be more stringent restrictions
regarding the angle of operation.
NOTE:
Do not operate this engine continuously
at angles exceeding 25° in any direction,
because engine damage could result from
insufficient lubrication.
Cooling
.

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while the engine
is running, or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate
.
the engine with heat shields or guards removed.
NOTE:
If debris builds up on the recoil starter
screen or other cooling areas, stop the engine
immediately and clean. Operating the engine
with blocked or dirty air intake and cooling
areas can cause extensive damage due to
overheating. (Refer to
.)
Areas
To ensure proper cooling, make sure the recoil starter
screen, cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the
engine are kept clean at all times.
Before each season of operation, clean the cooling
fins and external surfaces as necessary. Reinstall the
blower housing and other cooling shrouds.
