Overview

User-Friendly.

Kohler Aegis® engines boast a number of user-friendly features: dual oil drains, easy-access oil fill, low-oil protection, in-line fuel filter and top- or low-mount connections for boden wire controls.

Increased Efficiency.

Overhead valve technology provides greater volumetric efficiency and a higher compression ratio. This produces more power, improved fuel economy and cooling and reduces oil consumption. In addition, there is virtually no carbon buildup, reducing overall maintenance costs.

High Power Performance.

Featuring technologically advanced cooling systems and revolutionary air filtration, the engines deliver cooler oil temperatures, consistent running temperatures and improved air filtering for peak engine performance and reliability.

1 Max Power (hp) and Max Torque (lbs ft) specifications for Kohler general purpose engines are rated pursuant to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1940 based on gross output testing performed according to SAE J1995 without the air cleaner and muffler. Actual engine power and torque are lower and affected by accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, fuel pump, etc.), application, engine speed, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity and altitude) and other factors. This J1940 / J1995 rating provides consistent measurement to customers who may want to control the intake and exhaust features of the engine. For more information, contact Kohler Co. Engine Engineering Department. Kohler Co. reserves the right to change product specifications, designs and standard equipment without notice and without incurring obligation.
