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 using dirty oil, causes premature engine

wear and failure.

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.

Refer to Section 6 - “Lubrication System” for detailed

procedures on checking the oil, changing the oil and

changing the oil filter.

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.

Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less

combustion chamber deposits and reduces harmful

exhaust emissions. Leaded gasoline is not recommended

and must not be used on EFI engines, or on other models

where exhaust emissions are regulated.

Gasoline/Alcohol blends

Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline

by volume) is approved as a fuel for Kohler engines.

Other gasoline/alcohol blends are not approved.

Gasoline/Ether blends

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded

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

volume) are approved as a fuel for Kohler engines. Other

gasoline/ether blends are not approved.

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

higher oil or extending oil change intervals

longer than recommended can cause engine

damage.

NOTE: Synthetic oils meeting the listed

classifications may be used with oil changes

performed at the recommended intervals.

However, to allow piston rings to properly

seat, a new or rebuilt engine should be

operated for at least 50 hours using standard

petroleum based oil before switching to

synthetic oil.

A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API

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

Figure 1-3. Oil Container Logo.

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

acceptable, up to 4°C (40°F).

**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in

extreme cold (below -23°C (-10°F).

Safety and General Information

Periodic Maintenance Instructions

WARNING: Accidental Starts!

Disabling engine. Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Before working on the engine or equipment,

disable the engine as follows: 1) Disconnect the spark plug lead(s). 2) Disconnect negative (-) battery cable from battery.

Maintenance Schedule

These required maintenance procedures should be performed at the frequency stated in the table. They should

also be included as part of any seasonal tune-up.

Storage

If the engine will be out of service for two months or

more, use the following storage procedure:

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine. On

Electronic Fuel Injected (EFI) engines, avoid

spraying water at the wiring harness or any of

the electrical components.

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

still warm from operation. See “Change Oil and

Oil 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.

4. Remove the spark plugs and add one tablespoon

of engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install the

spark plugs, but do not connect the plug leads.

Crank the engine two or three revolutions.

5. On equipment with an EFI engine, disconnect the

battery or use a battery minder to keep the

battery charged during storage.

6. Store the engine in a clean, dry place.
