Congratulations on your purchase of a Kohler Engine. Every part, every component, every system on a Kohler engine is guided by our exclusive Performance Engineering philosophy: • To operate on the leading edge of innovation • To push the boundaries of cleaner, more efficient engines • To manufacture the highest performing, most reliable engines on the market You can rest assured that your Kohler Engine will provide maximum power and reliability in all operating conditions.
Check Oil Level 4. The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check Cooling Areas See Figures 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4 Check oil BEFORE EACH USE as follows: 1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and cool so the oil has had time to drain into the sump. 2. Clean the area around and beneath the dipstick or the oil fill plug (F) before removing it. This will help keep dirt, debris, and other foreign matter out of the engine. See Figure 1.
NOTE: Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility to improve starting. Do not use gasoline left over from summer. 4. Electric Start Models: Be sure the battery is in good condition. A warm battery has much more starting capacity than a cold battery. Starting See Figures 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , and 11 WARNING 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 Speed NOTE: Do not tamper with the governor setting to increase the maximum engine speed. Overspeed is hazardous and will void the engine warranty. The maximum allowable high‑idle speed for these engines is 3850 ± 100 RPM, no load. Carburetor The carburetor is designed to deliver the correct fuel‑to‑air mixture to the engine under all operating conditions. It has been calibrated at the factory and is not adjustable.
Oil Disposal Protect and respect the environment. Dispose of oil at your local recycling center or municipal collection location in accordance with local ordinances. Change Oil See Figures 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4 For a new engine, change oil after the first 5 hours of operation. Thereafter, change oil after every 100 hours of operation. For an overhauled engine, use Kohler 10W-30 service class SJ or higher oil for the first 5 hours of operation. Change the oil after this initial run-in period.
4. Slide the precleaner (D) and paper element (F) onto the air cleaner stud (G). Secure with special washer (E) and wing nut (C) (some models). Replace with a Kohler fuel filter yearly or every 50 hours of operation. Removing the air filter cover will allow easy access to the fuel filter for servicing. 5. Reinstall the air cleaner cover (B) and secure with wing nut (A). Fuel Tank Screen Ignition This engine is equipped with a dependable maintenance-free ignition system.
Spark Arrestor Carburetor Troubleshooting and Adjustments See Figure 19 Engines are equipped with a spark arrestor for operational and environmental safety. Every 100 hours of operation, remove and clean or replace the spark arrestor following the instructions below. WARNING Hot Parts can cause severe burns. Do not touch engine while operating or just after stopping. 1. Remove the securing hardware (B) and the spark arrestor (A). 2. Clean the carbon deposits out of the screen using a wire brush. 3.
Troubleshooting When problems occur, first check for simple reasons for a problem: for example, an empty fuel tank or the fuel shut-off valve is turned off. Additional troubleshooting tips can be found in the troubleshooting table. NOTE: Do not attempt to service or replace major engine components, or any items that require special timing or adjustment procedures. This work should be performed by a Kohler Engine Service Center.
