WARNING

Explosive Fuel can cause

ﬁres and severe burns.

Do not ﬁll fuel tank while

engine is hot or running.

Gasoline is extremely ﬂammable

and its vapors can explode if

ignited. Store gasoline only in

approved containers, in well

ventilated, unoccupied buildings,

away from sparks or ﬂames.

Spilled fuel could ignite if it comes

in contact with hot parts or sparks

from ignition. Never use gasoline

as a cleaning agent.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

Accidental Starts can

cause severe injury or

death.

Disconnect and ground

spark plug lead(s) before

servicing.

Before working on engine or

equipment, disable engine as

follows: 1) Disconnect spark plug

lead(s). 2) Disconnect negative (–)

battery cable from battery.

WARNING

Hot Parts can cause

severe burns.

Do not touch engine

while operating or just

after stopping.

Never operate engine with heat

shields or guards removed.

WARNING

Cleaning Solvents can

cause severe injury or

death.

Use only in well

ventilated areas away

from ignition sources.

Carburetor cleaners and solvents

are extremely ﬂammable. Follow

cleaner manufacturer’s warnings

and instructions on its proper and

safe use. Never use gasoline as a

cleaning agent.

CAUTION

Electrical Shock can

cause injury.

Do not touch wires while

engine is running.

CAUTION

Damaging Crankshaft

and Flywheel can cause

personal injury.

Using improper procedures can

lead to broken fragments. Broken

fragments could be thrown from

engine. Always observe and use

precautions and procedures when

installing ﬂywheel.

should NOT be used; effects of old, stale or

contaminated fuel are not warrantable.

Fuel must meet these requirements:

●Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

●Octane rating of 87 (R+M)/2 or higher.

●Research Octane Number (RON) 90 octane minimum.

●Gasoline up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded is

acceptable.

●Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded

gasoline blend (max 15% MTBE by volume) are

approved.

●Do not add oil to gasoline.

●Do not overﬁll fuel tank.

●Do not use gasoline older than 30 days.

STORAGE

If engine will be out of service for 2 months or more

follow procedure below.

1. Add Kohler PRO Series fuel treatment or equivalent

to fuel tank. Run engine 2-3 minutes to get stabilized

fuel into fuel system (failures due to untreated fuel

are not warrantable).

2. Change oil while engine is still warm from operation.

Remove spark plug(s) and pour about 1 oz. of

engine oil into cylinder(s). Replace spark plug(s) and

crank engine slowly to distribute oil.
