• Command Pro Series: These are commercial-grade engines, widely known for their durability and power. They feature Overhead Valve (OHV) or Overhead Cam (OHC) designs, full-pressure lubrication with filters, and heavy-duty components, making them a popular choice for demanding applications like zero-turn mowers, welders, and construction equipment.
• XT Series & Courage Series: These series are generally found in consumer-grade equipment like residential riding mowers. They are designed for reliable performance in less rigorous applications.
• SH Series: Designed for consumers but with pro-grade features like cast-iron cylinder liners, offering a balance of durability and value.
• Aegis Series: These were liquid-cooled engines designed for heavy-duty commercial applications where consistent temperature control and high durability were required.
• K-Series & Magnum Series: Older, classic cast-iron engines that established Kohler’s reputation for reliability. Many are still in use today, known for their simple, field-serviceable design. 

• Durable Construction: Kohler engines are built with robust materials, including cast-iron cylinder liners in aluminum blocks, which helps dissipate heat and reduce wear and tear.
• OHV Design: The Overhead Valve (OHV) design in most modern engines improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions compared to traditional side-valve engines.
• Innovation: Kohler has introduced innovations such as Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) technology, which optimizes fuel delivery for better efficiency and easier starting, and has explored alternative fuels like propane.
• Vertical Integration: Kohler manages all aspects of R&D, quality assurance, parts production, and manufacturing in-house, which contributes to high-quality control. 

• Fuel System: Clogged carburetors, often caused by leaving old fuel (over 30 days old) in the engine, are a common problem leading to poor running or starting issues. Using fresh, high-quality fuel and a fuel stabilizer for storage is recommended.
• Overheating: Air-cooled engines require clear airflow around the cooling fins and shrouds to prevent damage from overheating. Regular cleaning of these areas is essential.
• Oil Maintenance: Using the correct type and weight of high-quality detergent oil and performing regular oil and filter changes (every 100 hours or more frequently in severe conditions) is crucial for preventing premature wear.
• Starting Problems: Besides fuel issues, starting problems can stem from faulty spark plugs, a defective ignition coil, or a sheared flywheel key.
