engine is hot) and (2) as soon as the glow plug
light goes off, immediately turn the key clockwise

Operating Controls
Do not hold the key in the "S" position longer than
10 seconds. If the engine does not start, return the
key to the "O" position for at least 60 seconds
before making a restart attempt. Prolonged crank-
ing can damage the starter motor and shorten
battery life. Release the key when the engine
starts, and it will return to the (ON/RUN) position.
To stop the engine, rotate the key counterclock-
wise to the "O" position.
NOTE: The duration of glow plug activation (pre-
heat) is automatic and varies with engine tempera-
ture. The longest duration will be with a cold
engine and the warmer the engine, the shorter the
time for the glow plugs to cycle on and off. If the
glow plugs do not activate with a cold engine or the
activation light stays on, the engine needs to be
serviced by contacting your authorized Kohler
engine dealer.
