**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold (below -10.F). 10 a. Gasoline/Alcohol blends: Gasohol (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. b. Gasoline/Ether blends: Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline blends (up to a maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are approved as a fuel for Kohler engines. Other gasoline/ether blends are not approved. 2. Fuel Warnings: Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well- ventilated, unoccupied buildings, a way from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent. a. To minimize gum deposits in fuel system and to insure easy starting, do not use gasoline left over from the previous season. b. Do not add oil to the gasoline. c. Do not overfill the fuel tank. d. Filler neck should not contain fuel. Maintenance Schedule: FREQUENCY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED Daily or Before Starting the Engine • Fill the fuel tank • Check the engine oil level and fill, if needed, to the proper level • Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose, or damaged parts • Check the air intake and cooling areas for debris and clean as necessary • Check the operation of the safety switch • Check for excessive vibration, loose, or damaged parts on the unit • Inspect and clean the Hose and Discharge Nozzle of clogging debris • Inspect the condition of all warning labels and replace if necessary Every 5 hours of Usage • Inspect for excessive vibration, loose, or damaged parts on the unit • Check the engine oil level and fill, if needed, to the proper level Every 100 hours of Usage • Change the engine oil as instructed in this manual • Remove the cooling shrouds of the engine and clean the cooling areas of dust, dirt, or debris Every 200 hours of Usage • Change the engine oil filter as instructed in this manual • Check the engine spark plugs condition and gap Every 250 hours of Usage • Service the engine’s Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner, including replacing the Main Element, as instructed in this manual Every 500 hours of Usage • Service the engine’s Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner, including replacing the Inner Element, as instructed in this manual See the Kohler Engine Owner’s Manual for additional required maintenance. 11 Maintenance: A. Removing and Replacing the Fan and Talon Ring (Figure #7) 1. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs on the engine. 2. Disconnect safety switch wire from engine. 3. Unbolt and Remove the Inlet Assembly from the face of the Housing. 4. Remove the bolt (64123-160) securing the Fan and Talon Ring to the crankshaft of the engine. 5. Pull the Talon Ring off the face of the Fan hub. 6. Rotate the Fan to allow the blades to align with the notches provided in the Housing face. 7. Thread a 3/4-16 x 5” long grade 5 (or better) bolt into the hub to jack or push the Fan from the crankshaft of the engine. (The Little Wonder #910505 jacking screw is recommended.) **Take note of the orientation of the fan with respect to the keyway upon removal. This is important when reinstalling the Fan.** 8. Upon removal of the Fan and Talon Ring, inspect for damaged or worn blades. If the Fan or Talon Ring is found to be damaged or excessively worn, it should be replaced with a new part. 9. Reinstall the Fan onto the crankshaft and orient it to the same position as removed in Step #6. Once the Fan is aligned properly with the keyways of the Fan hub and engine crankshaft in line, slide the Fan completely onto the crankshaft. 10. To reinstall the Talon Ring, align the “D” hole in the ring with the mating shape found on the Fan hub. 11. Using a new fan bolt (64123-160) and adding a dab of Loctite 242 to it’s threads, complete the installation of the Fan and Talon ring by securing the bolt with the proper torque into the engine crankshaft. 12. Install the Inlet Assembly to the face of the Housing and secure with the previously removed hardware. 13. Connect the spark plug wires to the spark plugs on the engine.
