Cold Weather Starting
NOTE: Ensure water in pump body is not
frozen before starting.
When starting pump in low ambient
temperatures, allow engine to idle before
increasing fl ow of liquid. Follow chart for
temperature and time.
< -4° F (< -20° C) 5 minutes
-4° to 14° F (-20° to -10° C) 2 minutes
14° to 23° F (-10° to -5° C) 1 minutes
> 41° F (> 5° C) 20 seconds
1. Use proper oil for temperature expected.
2. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade
fuel has higher volatility to improve starting.
Operation
WARNING
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while pump is in
operation.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never
operate pump with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.
NOTE: If there is no fl ow of liquid through
pump, stop it and check suction circuit
(suction strainer (S) and pipes).
NOTE: Avoid placing any fl ammable materials
near exhaust outlet during operation.
Do not place any material on pump
during operation.
Pump controls fl ow of liquid in accordance with
its running speed. Pump engine is equipped
with a speed control lever that enables fl ow
from pump to be controlled.
Flow from pump also depends on suction and
discharge elevation heads and on quality of
liquid that is being pumped (clean / muddy
water).
1. Move position of speed control lever (MAX to
increase fl ow, MIN to reduce it).
Angle of Operation
Do not operate this engine exceeding maximum
angle of operation; see specifi cation table.
Engine damage could result from insuffi cient
lubrication.
Stopping
1. If equipped, move throttle lever (K) to slow or
idle position; stop engine.
2. Pump stops.
3. If equipped, close fuel shut-off (I) valve.
4. Disconnect suction and discharge pipes and
allow liquid to fl ow out.
5. If pump is not used again on same day, rinse
it out.
Rinsing
After pump has stopped and cooled down.
1. Fill pump body with clean water via pump
discharge port (B) or through pump fi ller cap
(E).
2. Slowly pull on recoil starter handle (M)
several times until resistance is encountered
and then allow it to return gently.
3. Unscrew and remove pump drain plug (G)
from pump and allow water to fl ow out.
4. Screw pump drain plug (G) back into
position.
5. Repeat operation if necessary.
6. Clean suction strainer (S), remove any dirt if
necessary and rinse with clean water.
Engine Speed
NOTE: Do not tamper with governor setting to
increase maximum engine speed.
Overspeed is hazardous and will void
warranty.
High Altitude Operation
This engine may require a high altitude
carburetor kit to ensure correct engine
operation at altitudes above 4000 ft. (1219
meters). To obtain high altitude kit information
or to fi nd a Kohler authorized dealer
KohlerPower.com or call 1-800-544-2444 (U.S.
and Canada).
This engine should be operated in its original
confi guration below 4000 ft. (1219 meters) as
damage may occur if high altitude carburetor kit
is installed and operated below 4000 ft. (1219
meters).
Carburetor Icing
NOTE: Running engine with cover (N)
positioned for cold weather operation
in normal conditions can damage
engine.
Carburetor icing can take place when certain
combinations of temperature and humidity
exist. Result of carburetor icing is rough running
at idle or low speed as well as black or white
smoke.
To reduce likelihood of carburetor icing, air
cleaner cover (N) can be rotated to draw
warmer air from muffl er side. For cold weather
operation, position air cleaner cover (N) with
snowfl ake decal out.
For normal operation, position air cleaner cover
(N) with sun decal out.
