Clean Air Intake/Cooling Areas
To ensure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen,
cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine
are kept clean at all times.
Every 100 hours of operation (more often under
extremely dusty, dirty conditions), remove the blower
housing and other cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling
fins and external surfaces as necessary. Make sure the
cooling shrouds are reinstalled.
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass
screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or
cooling shrouds removed, will cause engine
damage due to overheating.
Ignition System
This engine is equipped with a dependable electronic
magneto ignition system. Other than periodically
checking/replacing the spark plug, no maintenance,
timing, or adjustments are necessary or possible with
this system.
In the event starting problems should occur which are
not corrected by replacing the spark plug, see your
Kohler Engine Service Dealer for trouble analysis.
Check Spark Plug
Annually, remove the spark plug, check condition, and
reset the gap or replace with new plug as necessary.
Use a Champion
®
type RC12YC (or equivalent) spark
plug.
1. Before removing the spark plug, clean the area
around the base of the plug to keep dirt and debris
out of the engine.
2. Remove the plug and check its condition.
Replace the plug if worn or reuse is questionable.
NOTE: Do not clean the spark plug in a machine
using abrasive grit. Some grit could
remain in the spark plug and enter the
engine causing extensive wear and
damage.
3. Check the gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust
the gap to 1.02 mm (0.040 in.) by carefully
bending the ground electrode. See Figure 9.
4. Reinstall the spark plug into the cylinder head.
Torque the spark plug to 24.4/29.8 N·m
(18/22 ft. lb.) .
