death.
Before working on the engine or
equipment, disable the engine as
follows: 1) Disconnect the spark plug
lead(s). 2) Disconnect negative (-)

Explosive Gas!

Batteries produce explosive hydrogen
gas while being charged. To prevent a
fire or explosion, charge batteries only
in well ventilated areas. Keep sparks,
open flames, and other sources of
ignition away from the battery at all
times. Keep batteries out of the reach of
children. Remove all jewelry when
servicing batteries.

Before disconnecting the negative (-)
ground cable, make sure all switches are
OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the
ground cable terminal which could
cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or
gasoline vapors are present.

Congratulations – You have selected a fine four-cycle, twin cylinder, air-cooled engine. Kohler designs long life
strength and on-the-job durability into each engine...making a Kohler engine dependable...dependability you
can count on. Here are some reasons why:

• Efficient overhead valve design and full pressure lubrication provide maximum power, torque, and

reliability under all operating conditions.

• Dependable, maintenance-free electronic ignition ensures fast, easy starts time after time.

• Kohler engines are easy to service. All routine service areas like the dipstick, oil fill, air cleaner, and spark

plugs are easily and quickly accessible.

• Parts subject to the most wear and tear (like the cylinder liner* and camshaft) are made from precision

formulated cast iron. Because the cylinder liner* can be rebored, these engines can last even longer.

*Some CH25/26 engines have POWER-BORE™ Cylinders. These cylinders are plated with nickel-silicon to

give increased power, virtually permanent cylinder life, superior oil control, and reduced exhaust
emissions. These cylinders cannot be rebored.

• Every Kohler engine is backed by a worldwide network of over 10,000 distributors and dealers. Service

support is just a phone call away. Call 1-800-544-2444 (U.S. & Canada) for Sales & Service assistance.

To keep your engine in top operating condition, follow the maintenance procedures in this manual.

Lethal Exhaust Gases!

Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can
cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling
exhaust fumes, and never run the
engine in a closed building or confined
area.
