SECTION 2 OPERATION
2.1 Starting The Engine
Engine Control Lights
See Figure 2-1. The following indicator lights are located on the sawmill control panel.
Alternator Charge Indicator: Lights up if the alternator is not charging the battery.
Key Switch Indicator: Lights up when the key is in either the on or accessory (#1 or #3)
position.
A diagnostic light is also provided to help troubleshoot the electronic fuel injection system.
See Appendix A for details.
Engine Start
DANGER! Always be sure the blade is disengaged and all persons are
out of the path of the blade before starting the engine. Failure to do so
will result in serious injury.

DANGER! Operate your engine/machine only in well ventilated areas.
The exhaust gases of your engine can cause nausea, delirium and
potentially death unless adequate ventilation is present.
DANGER! Never operate an engine with a fuel or oil leak. The leaking
fuel or oil could potentially come in contact with hot surfaces and ignite
into flames.
WARNING! Be sure the power feed switch is in the neutral position
before turning the key switch to the on (#1) or accessory (#3) position.
This prevents accidental carriage movement. which may cause serious
injury or death.
WARNING! Do not operate engine without proper and operational
spark arrester/muffler. Sparks emitted from the engine exhaust could
ignite surrounding materials, causing serious injury or death.
WARNING! EPA Compliant Gas Tanks Only: Always relieve all fuel
pressure inside the tank prior to filling or connecting fuel fittings. Fail-
ure to do so may result in fuel spillage.
WARNING! EPA Compliant Gas Tanks Only: Disconnect the fuel tank
when not in use or during transportation. Failure to do so may result in
engine flooding or fuel spillage.
Turn the key switch to the start (#2) position and release.
For more information, see the engine manufacturer’s operation manual.
NOTE: When the clutch handle is engaged, an accelerator pump is activated which sup-
plies fuel to the engine carburetor. To avoid flooding the carburetor and possibly fouling
the spark plugs, do not engage the clutch lever repeatedly without the engine running.
NOTE: If the engine dies after starting, check that the fuel pump is running. If the fuel
pump is not running, check the relay inside the black control box on the side of the
engine. Check the red wire connecting the relay to the fuel pump for voltage. Also check
pin #30 & #86 for 12 volts. If voltage is found at the pins but not the red relay wire, replace
the fuel pump relay. If no voltage is found at the pins, have the wiring harness checked by
a qualified Kohler technician.
Engine Shutoff
Turn the key switch to the off (#0) position.

SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE
Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for maintenance intervals and procedures unless oth-
erwise instructed in this manual. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for dusty
conditions.
IMPORTANT! This manual only provides information about additional
procedures or procedures to be performed at different time intervals
than found in the manufacturer's manuals. Refer to the manufacturer's
manual for complete maintenance instructions.
WARNING! Clean sawdust from all guards, vents, control
boxes, or any area where sawdust may gather after every
shift. Failure to do so may result in fire, causing death or
serious injury.
3.1 Safety
Use caution when performing maintenance or service to the engine.
DANGER! Always be aware of and take proper protective measures
against rotating shafts, pulleys, fans, etc. Always stay a safe distance
from rotating members and make sure that loose clothing or long hair
does not engage rotating members resulting in possible injury.
DANGER! Engine components can become very hot during operation.
Avoid contact with any part of a hot engine. The exhaust components
of your engine are especially hot during and following operation. Con-
tact with hot engine components can cause serious burns. Therefore,
never touch or perform service functions on a hot engine. Allow the
engine to cool sufficiently before beginning any service function.
WARNING! Remove the blade before performing any engine service.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear proper and necessary safety equipment
when performing service functions. Proper safety equipment includes
eye protection, breathing protection, hand protection and foot protec-
tion.
This symbol identifies the interval (hours of operation) at which each maintenance pro-
cedure should be performed. "AR" signifies maintenance procedures which should be
performed as required.

3.2 Cooling System
Wash the engine or brush off sawdust and debris every 50 hours of operation. Clean the
grass screen, cooling fins, and external surfaces. Remove any dust, dirt or oil. See
engine manual for further instructions.
3.3 Air Cleaner
Empty the air debris collector every 8 hours of operation.
Squeeze the rubber tip of the collector to open it. After all debris has been emptied from
the collector, release the tip and allow it to close.
WARNING! Always wear proper and necessary safety equipment
when performing service functions. Proper safety equipment includes
eye protection, breathing protection, hand protection and foot protec-
tion.
Replace the outer air cleaner cartridge and check the inner cartridge every 250 hours of
operation or more often if operating the sawmill in dirty conditions or if engine perfor-
mance indicates a new cartridge is necessary.
CAUTION! Do not clean elements with water or compressed air. Do
not handle the inner element unless it is to be changed. Handle new
elements carefully. Contact with the element could cause damage and
prevent the filter from operating properly.
Replace the inner air cleaner cartridge every 1200 hours of operation or more often if
operating the sawmill in dirty conditions.
3.4 Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter every 100 hours of operation or as required for engine perfor-
mance.
3.5 Battery
Check the battery electrolyte level every 50 hours of operation. See manufacturer’s man-
ual for instructions.

DANGER! Batteries expel explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames,
burning cigarettes, or other ignition sources away at all times. Always
wear safety goggles and a face shield when working near batteries.
Failure to do so will cause serious injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
3.6 Alternator Belt
Adjust the alternator belt as needed. Check the alternator belt for tension and wear when
battery is not charging properly or when the alternator belt is squealing. To tighten the
belt, loosen the adjustment bolt and lock washer. Pivot the alternator away from the motor
until the belt has 3/16" (5 mm) deflection with a 5 lb. deflection force. Retighten the adjust-
ment bolt.
See Figure 3-1.
