Maintenance Of Pick-Ups - Kohler SFGLD480 Operation & Maintenance Manual

1. INTRODUCTION
This document describes the procedure for correct maintenance of speed pick-ups on Kohler engines.

2. MAINTENANCE OF PICK-UPS

The magnetic pick-ups serve as instant input of the engine speed or cycle (expansion or compression) to the
engine control, carburetion, injection and other systems.
Pick-up maintenance is a simple process that shall take place according to the engine maintenance schedule.
Concretely, the maintenance operations consist in:
- Removing the pick-up: disconnect the cable from the top and unscrew the pick-up from its housing.
- Cleaning the pick-up: wipe the pick-up head with a damp cloth to remove sticking dirt. Do not use any solvent
or other aggressive products that would damage this device.
Also, clean any waste oil, dust, etc. off the two connectors (cable and pick-up) with an electrical circuit cleaner.
ATTENTION
If you observe any impact, wear or other defect on the pick-up, change it for a new one.
- Adjusting the pick-up: the gap between the pick-up sensor and the moving component must be from 0.5 to 0.8
mm. To adjust the pick-up, screw it in to a stop and then back it half a turn. Next, secure the pick-up with the
locknut and plug the signal cable.
Other pick-ups are available, which permit a greater clearance between pick-up and moving part (0.25 and
1mm). However, we recommend you adjust the gap to the abovementioned values.
