ON/OFF/START Switch
ON/OFF/START switch (J) controls ignition
system.
ON Position:
Ignition circuit is switched on. Engine can be
started.
OFF Position:
Ignition circuit is switched off. Engine will not
run.
START Position:
Pressing and holding switch in START
position will start engine with electric start (if
equipped).
Auto Idle
When Auto Idle (I) switch is in ON position,
Auto Idle (I) controls engine speed according
to connected load. Results are better fuel
consumption and less noise.
When Auto Idle (I) switch is in OFF position,
engine runs at rated rpm (3,600 rpm)
regardless of whether there is a load connected
or not.
Stopping
1. Disconnect plugs from electrical sockets (C,
D, F & G) to let engine run under no load for
1 or 2 minutes.
2. Set ON/OFF/START switch (J) to OFF
position: generator stops.
3. Close fuel valve (X).
High Altitude Operation
If this engine is operated at an altitude of 4000
ft. (1219 meters) or above, a high altitude
carburetor kit is required. To obtain high altitude
carburetor kit information or to nd a Kohler
authorized dealer, visit KohlerEngines.com or
call 1-800-544-2444 (U.S. and Canada).
This engine should be operated in its original
conguration below 4000 ft. (1219 meters).
Operating this engine with the wrong engine
conguration at a given altitude may increase
its emissions, decrease fuel efciency and
performance, and result in damage to the
engine.
Engine Speed
NOTE: Do not tamper with governor setting to
increase maximum engine speed.
Overspeed is hazardous and will void
warranty.
