Manual's purpose

• This manual contains the instructions needed to carry out  

proper use and maintenance of the engine, therefore it must 

always be available, for future reference when required.

• This manual is an integral part of the engine, in the event of 

transfer or sale, it must be attached to it. 

• Safety pictograms can be found on the engine and it is the 

operator's responsibility to keep them in a perfectly visible 

place and replace them when they are no longer legible.

state of the art at the time of the marketing of engine.

• However,  development  on  the  engines  is  continuous.

Therefore,  the  information  within  this  manual  is  subject  to 

change without notice and without obligation.

• KOHLER

 reserves the right to make, at any time, changes in 

the engines for technical or commercial reasons.

• These changes do not require 

KOHLER

 to intervene on the 

marketed production up to that time and not to consider this 

manual as inappropriate. 

• Any additional section that 

KOHLER

 will deem necessary to 

supply some time after the main text shall be kept together 

with the manual and considered as an integral part of it. 

• The  information  contained  within  this  manual  is  the  sole 

property of 

KOHLER

. As such, no reproduction or replication

 Emission-Related Installation Instructions

Failing to follow the instructions in the applications guidebook when installing a certified engine in a piece of nonroad equipment 

violates federal law (40 CFR 1068.105(b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.

OEM must apply a separate label with the following statement: “ULTRA LOW SULFUR FUEL ONLY” near the fuel inlet.

Ensure you are installing an engine appropriately certified for your application. Constant speed engines may only be installed 

on constant speed equipment for constant speed operation.

If you install the engine in a way that makes the engine's emission control information label hard to read during normal engine 

maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment, as described in 40 CFR 1068.105.
