NOTE: is used to notify people of important installation, operation, or maintenance information.

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

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.

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.

WARNING

Uncoiling Spring can

cause severe injury.

Wear safety goggles or

face protection when

servicing retractable

starter.

Retractable starters contain a

powerful, recoil spring that is

under tension. Always wear safety

goggles when servicing retractable

starters and carefully follow

instructions in Retractable Starter

for relieving spring tension.

of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SJ

or higher are acceptable. Select viscosity based on

air temperature at time of operation as shown in table

below.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

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.

NOTE: E15, E20 and E85 are NOT approved and

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
