Kohler Starter Instructions
- 1). Turn the appliance's throttle control midway between "Slow" and "Fast."
- 2). Turn the choke lever to "On" for a cold engine or "Off" for an engine operating under normal temperatures.
- 3). Insert the starting rope knot into the starting pulley if you are using a rope start engine. If you are not, skip to Step 6.
- 4). Wrap the rest of the rope around the pulley.
- 5). Pull the starter handle using a smooth, even motion. Do not jerk the handle upward. Repeat for 10 seconds or until the engine starts. If it does not start after 10 seconds, wait for 60 seconds and then try again. Skip to Step 10 once the engine starts.
- 6). Pull the starter handle slowly if you are using a retractable start engine. If you are not, skip to Step 9. Stop when you feel the rope pass the compression point for the engine.
- 7). Hold the starter handle and guide the rope back to its starting position.
- 8). Pull the rope back out completely with a smooth, even motion to start the engine. Do not jerk the rope upwards. Skip to Step 10.
- 9). Press and hold the starter switch for 10 seconds or until the engine starts. If the engine does not start after 10 seconds, release it and wait 60 seconds. Repeat until the engine starts.
