Section 1

Safety and General Information

Oil Recommendations

Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase

is extremely important. So is checking oil daily and

changing oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or

usingdirty oil,causes prematureenginewear andfailure.

Oil Type

Use high-quality detergent oil of API (American

Petroleum Institute) Service Class SG, SH, SJ or

higher. Select the viscosity based on the air temperature

at the time of operation as shown in the following table.

Fuel Recommendations

WARNING: Explosive Fuel!

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can

explode if ignited. Before servicing the fuel system,

make sure there are no sparks, open flames or other

sources of ignition nearby as these can ignite gasoline

vapors. Disconnect and ground the spark plug leads to

prevent the possibility of sparks from the ignition

system.

General Recommendations

Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in

clean, approved containers.A container with a capacity

of 2 gallons or less with a pouring spout is

recommended. Such a container is easier to handle

and helps eliminate spillage during refueling.

Do not use gasoline left over from the previous

season, to minimize gum deposits in your fuel system

and to ensure easy starting.

Do not add oil to the gasoline.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for the fuel to

expand.

Fuel Type

For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded

gasoline with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or

higher. In countries using the Research method, it

should be 90 octane minimum.

Unleadedgasoline isrecommended asitleavesless

combustionchamber depositsandreduces harmful

exhaust emissions. Leaded gasoline is not

recommendedand must not beusedon EFIengines,

oron othermodels whereexhaust emissionsare

regulated.

Gasoline/Alcohol blends

Gasohol(upto 10%ethyl alcohol,90% unleaded

gasolineby volume)isapproved asafuel forKohler

engines.Other gasoline/alcoholblendsare not

approved.

Gasoline/Ether blends

MethylTertiaryButyl Ether(MTBE) andunleaded

gasoline blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by

volume)are approvedasafuel forKohlerengines. Other

gasoline/etherblendsare notapproved.

NOTE: Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or

higheroil orextendingoil changeintervals

longerthan recommendedcancause engine

damage.

NOTE: Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications

may be used with oil changes performed at the

recommendedintervals.However,to allow

piston rings to properly seat, a new or rebuilt

engineshould beoperated foratleast50hours

usingstandard petroleumbasedoil before

switching to synthetic oil.

Alogo or symbol on oil containers identifies theAPI

service class and SAE viscosity grade. See Figure 1-3.

Figure 1-3. Oil Container Logo.

Referto Section6 -“Lubrication System”for detailed

procedures on checking the oil, changing the oil and

changing the oil filter.

*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is

acceptable, up to 40°F.

**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme

cold (below -10°F).

electrical components.

2. Change the oil and oil filter while the engine is still

warmfrom operation.See“Change OilandOil

Filter” in Section 6.

3. The fuel system must be completely emptied, or

the gasoline must be treated with a stabilizer to

prevent deterioration. If you choose to use a

stabilizer, follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations, and add the correct amount

for the capacity of the fuel system.

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh gasoline. Run

the engine for 2 to 3 minutes to get stabilized fuel

into the rest of the system. Close the fuel shut-off

valve when the unit is being stored or transported.

To empty the system, run the engine until the tank

and the system are empty.
