Throttle Cable Adjustment; Starting An Engine Equipped With Unitized Throttle And Choke Control - Kohler Courage SV710 Service Manual

Throttle Cable Adjustment

NOTE: Choke is placed ON by moving throttle control
slightly past fast position. If throttle control does
not have a designated choke ON position, be
sure to leave suffi cient throttle control travel past
fast position. This will enable choke to be placed
ON.
1. Loosen control cable clamp.
2. Place throttle control lever of equipment into fast or
high speed position.
3. Pull on outer shield of throttle control cable until
speed control lever rotates and makes contact with
choke lever. Tighten cable clamp securely.
Starting an Engine Equipped with Unitized Throttle
and Choke Control
NOTE: Do not crank engine continuously for more than
10 seconds at a time. If engine does not start,
allow a 60 second cool down period between
starting attempts. Failure to follow these
guidelines can burn out starter motor.
NOTE: If engine develops suffi cient speed to disengage
starter but does not keep running (a false start),
engine rotation must be allowed to come to a
complete stop before attempting to restart
engine. If starter is engaged while fl ywheel is
rotating, starter pinion and fl ywheel ring gear
may clash, resulting in damage to starter.
1. For a Cold or Warm Engine – Place throttle/choke
control into fast/choke ON position. This will also
place choke into ON position.
2. Make sure equipment is in neutral.
3. Activate starter switch. Release switch as soon as
engine starts.
If starter does not turn engine over, shut starter off
immediately. Do not make further attempts to start
engine until condition is corrected. Do not jump start
using another battery. See your Kohler authorized dealer
for trouble analysis.
4. For Operation – After engine starts, move throttle/
choke control from fast/choke ON position and set
desired engine operating speed (between slow and
fast position).
