Replacing The Air Filter - Dixon 27 KOH/968999588 Operator's Manual

Checking the Engine's Cooling Air Intake
Check that the engine's cooling air intake is free from
leaves, grass, and dirt.
If the cooling air intake is clogged, engine cooling
deteriorates, which can lead to engine damage.
Checking and Adjusting the Throttle Cable
On Kohler engine the cables are mounted under the
air fi lter housing. The throttle cable on Kohler must be
mounted in the middle hole.
Check that the engine responds to throttle increases
and that a good engine speed is attained at full
throttle.
If doubts arise, contact the service workshop.
If adjustments are necessary, they can be made as
follows for the lower cable:
1. Loosen the clamping screw for the cable's
outer casing and move the throttle to the full
throttle position.
2. Check that the throttle cable is mounted
in the correct hole in the lower lever, see
illustration.
3. Push the throttle cable's outer casing as
far to the left as possible and tighten the
clamping screw.
Checking and Adjusting the Choke Cable
If the engine produces black smoke or is diffi cult
to start, this can be because the choke cable is
incorrectly adjusted (upper cable).
If doubts arise, contact the service workshop.
If adjustments are necessary, they can be made
as follows:
1. Loosen the clamping screw for the cable's
outer casing and move the choke lever to the
full choke position.
2. Check that the choke cable is mounted in the
upper lever, see illustration. Push the choke
cable's outer casing as far to the right as
possible and tighten the clamping screw.
