Cold Weather Starting
NOTE: Ensure water in pump body is not
frozen before starting.
When starting pump in low ambient
temperatures, allow engine to idle before
increasing flow of liquid. Follow chart for
temperature and time.

1. Use proper oil for temperature expected.
2. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade
fuel has higher volatility to improve starting.
Operation
WARNING
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while pump is in
operation.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never
operate pump with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.
NOTE: If there is no flow of liquid through
pump, stop it and check suction circuit
(suction strainer (N) and pipes).
NOTE: Avoid placing any flammable materials
near exhaust outlet during operation.
Do not place any material on pump
during operation.
Pump controls flow of liquid in accordance with
its running speed. Pump engine is equipped
with a lever (F) that enables flow from pump to
be controlled.
Flow from pump also depends on suction
and discharge elevation heads and on quality
of liquid that is being pumped (clean/muddy
water).
Angle of Operation
Do not operate this engine exceeding maximum
angle of operation; see specification table.
Engine damage could result from insufficient
lubrication.
Stopping
1. Move lever (F) to stop position.
2. Pump stops.
3. Disconnect suction and discharge pipes and
allow liquid to flow out.
4. If pump is not used again on same day, rinse
it out.
Rinsing
After pump has stopped and cooled down.
1. Fill pump body with clean water via pump
discharge port (B) or through pump filler cap
(E).
2. Slowly pull on recoil starter handle (I) several
times until resistance is encountered and
then allow it to return gently.
3. Unscrew and remove pump drain plug (G)
from pump and allow water to flow out.
4. Screw pump drain plug (G) back into
position.
5. Repeat operation if necessary.
6. Clean suction strainer (N), remove any dirt if
necessary and rinse with clean water.
Engine Speed
NOTE: Do not tamper with governor setting to
increase maximum engine speed.
Overspeed is hazardous and will void
warranty.
High Altitude Operation
If this engine is operated at an altitude of 4000
ft. (1219 meters) or above, a high altitude
carburetor kit is required. To obtain high altitude
carburetor kit information or to find a Kohler
authorized dealer, visit KohlerEngines.com or
call 1-800-544-2444 (U.S. and Canada).
This engine should be operated in its original
configuration below 4000 ft. (1219 meters).
Operating this engine with the wrong engine
configuration at a given altitude may increase
its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency and
performance, and result in damage to the
engine.
