Starting
Carbon Monoxide can cause
severe nausea, fainting or death.
Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes.
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
odorless, colorless, and can cause death if
inhaled.
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while engine is in
operation.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never
operate engine with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.
NOTE: Choke position for starting may vary
depending upon temperature and other
factors. Once engine is running and
warm, turn choke to OFF position.
NOTE: Extend starter cord periodically to
check its condition. If cord is frayed
have it replaced immediately by a
Kohler authorized dealer.
NOTE: Do not crank engine continuously for
more than 10 seconds. Allow a 60
second cool down period between
starting attempts. Failure to follow
these guidelines can burn out starter
motor.
NOTE: If engine develops suffi cient speed to
disengage starter but does not keep
running (a false start), engine rotation
must be allowed to come to a complete
stop before attempting to restart
engine. If starter is engaged while
fl ywheel is rotating, starter pinion and
fl ywheel ring gear may clash, resulting
in damage to starter.
1. Gaseous Fuel Operation: Prior to operation
on gaseous fuel, make sure carburetor is
emptied of all gasoline. Turn gasoline fuel
shut-off valve to OFF position and let engine
run out of fuel. Then connect gaseous fuel
supply to regulator. Make sure to turn fuel
selector valve to appropriate gaseous fuel
(LP or NG).
Gasoline Operation: Turn gasoline fuel
shut-off valve to ON position. Make sure that
gaseous fuel supply is NOT connected to
regulator.
2. Turn engine on/off switch to ON position (if
equipped).

3. Start engine as follows:
Cold engine: Place throttle control midway
between SLOW and FAST positions. Place
choke control into ON position.
Warm engine: Place throttle control midway
between SLOW and FAST positions. Return
choke to OFF position as soon as engine
starts. A warm engine usually does not
require choke on.
4. Retractable Start: Slowly pull starter handle
until just past compression-STOP! Return
starter handle; fi rmly pull straight out to avoid
excessive rope wear from starter rope guide.
Electric Start: Activate starter switch.
Release switch as soon as engine starts. If
starter does not turn engine over, shut off
starter immediately. Do not make further
attempts to start engine until condition is
corrected. Do not jump start. See your Kohler
authorized dealer for trouble analysis.
5. Gradually return choke control to OFF
position after engine starts and warms up.
Engine/equipment may be operated during
warm up period, but it may be necessary to
leave choke partially on until engine warms
up.
Cold Weather Starting Hints
1. Use proper oil for temperature expected.
2. Disengage all possible external loads.
3. Gaseous Fuel Operation, cold engine: In cold
environments, it may be necessary to fi rst
start engine on gasoline, following
instructions for gasoline operation. After
allowing engine to warm up, follow
instructions for gaseous fuel operation.
Stopping
1. If possible, remove load by disengaging all
PTO driven attachments.
