MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER
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.
To minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to insure easy starting, do not use
gasoline left over from the previous season.
Do not add oil to the gasoline.
Do not over-fill 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.
Leaded gasoline may be used in areas where unleaded is not available and exhaust
emissions are not regulated. Be aware, however, that the cylinder heads may require
more frequent service.
Gasoline/Alcohol Blends
Gasoline (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 maximum of
15% MTBE by volume) are approved as a fuel for Kohler engines. Other gasoline/ether
blends are not approved.
Battery
Check charge condition. Keep battery connections tight and clean.
Battery Recharging
When recharging, do not use a battery charger rated for more than 8 AMP’s. If the
battery has fallen below 10.5 volts, a charger made specifically for charging AMG
batteries is required. Do not overcharge the battery.
