High Altitude Operation
If this engine is operated at an altitude of 4000 ft. (1219 meters) or above, a high altitude carburetor
kit is required. To obtain high altitude carburetor kit information or to fi nd a Kohler authorized
dealer, visit KohlerEngines.com or call 1-800-544-2444 (U.S. and Canada).
This engine should be operated in its original confi guration below 4000 ft. (1219 meters).
Operating this engine with the wrong engine confi guration at a given altitude may increase its
emissions, decrease fuel effi ciency and performance, and result in damage to the engine.
Carburetor Icing
NOTE: Running engine with cover positioned for cold weather operation in normal conditions can
damage engine.
Carburetor icing can take place when certain combinations of temperature and humidity exist.
Result of carburetor icing is rough running at idle or low speed as well as black or white smoke.
To reduce likelihood of carburetor icing, air cleaner cover can be rotated to draw warmer air from
muffl er side. For cold weather operation, position air cleaner cover with snowfl ake decal out.
For normal operation, position air cleaner cover with sun decal out.
