Kohler PA-CH742-3100 gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine. It converts the chemical energy stored in gasoline into mechanical energy. This Kohler 25 HP engine can power chainsaws, generators, pumps, compressors and small construction machinery like compactors & concrete mixers. It allows construction workers to operate equipment in remote locations without the need for a fixed power source.
Working Mechanism:
- Make sure the fuel shut-off valve is set to ON and switch the on/off button to the ON position.
- For a cold start, adjust the throttle control to the midpoint between SLOW & FAST and activate the choke control by positioning it to ON.
- When starting a warm engine, set the throttle control to the midpoint between SLOW and FAST. Remember to switch the choke to the OFF position promptly after the engine ignites. Normally, a warm engine does not necessitate the use of a choke.
Starting Methods
- Retractable Start: Gently pull the starter handle until it surpasses compression, then pause. Return the starter handle and firmly pull it straight out to prevent excessive wear on the starter rope from the guide.
- Electric Start: Engage the starter switch. Release the switch as soon as the engine begins running. If the starter fails to turn the engine, promptly disengage the starter.
- Gradually revert the choke control to the OFF position after the engine has started and warmed up.
- While the engine is warming up, it may be feasible to operate the engine or equipment, but it might be necessary to keep the choke partially engaged until the engine is fully warmed up.
