Kohler ECV630 - Maintenance Instructions

6
NOTE: Upon start-up, a metallic ticking may occur.
This is caused by hydraulic lier leakdown
during storage. The noise will normally cease
in the rst minute. If noise continues, run
the engine at mid-throle for 20 minutes. If
noise persists, take the engine to your Kohler
Engine Service Center.
NOTE: If the starter cranks the engine but does not
start the engine, the engine rotation must be
allowed to come to a complete stop before
aempting to restart the engine. If the starter
is engaged while the ywheel is rotating, the
starter pinion and ywheel ring gear may
clash, resulting in damage to the starter.
If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut o
starter immediately. Do not make further aempts to
start the engine until the condition is corrected. Do
not jump start using another baery (refer to Baery).
See your Kohler Engine Service Center for service
assistance.
Stopping
1. Remove the load by disengaging all PTO driven
aachments.
2. Move the throle to the slow or idle position; turn
key OFF to stop engine.
Battery
A 12 volt baery is used. Refer to the operating
instructions of the equipment this engine powers for
specic baery requirements.
If the baery charge is not sucient to crank the
engine, recharge the baery. Follow the baery
manufacturer's instructions.
Operating
Angle of Operation
This engine will operate continuously at angles up to
25°. Check oil level to assure crankcase oil level is at
the F mark on the dipstick.
Refer to the operating instructions of the equipment
this engine powers. Because of equipment design or
application, there may be more stringent restrictions
regarding the angle of operation.
NOTE: Do not operate this engine continuously
at angles exceeding 25° in any direction.
Engine damage could result from insucient
lubrication.
WARNING
Hot Parts can cause severe burns.
Do not touch engine while operating or
just aer stopping.
Cooling
NOTE: If debris builds up on the xed guard or other
cooling areas, stop the engine immediately
and clean. Operating the engine with blocked
or dirty air intake and cooling areas can cause
extensive damage due to overheating. Refer to
Clean Air Intake/Cooling Areas.
Engine Speed
NOTE: Do not tamper with the governor seing to
increase the maximum engine speed.
Overspeed is hazardous and will void the
engine warranty. The maximum allowable
high idle speed for these engines is 4200 RPM,
no load.
