Kohler Command PRO CS10The Kohler Command PRO CS10 is a 301 cc (18.37 cu·in) single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine from Command PRO series, manufactured by Kohler Co., for general-purpose applications, such as construction and industrial equipment, portable generators, commercial or residential lawn, and garden equipment.

The Kohler CS10 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, cast iron cylinder liners, aluminum block, steel-forged horizontal shaft, and dual main ball bearings. This engine is equipped with fixed jet Mikuni carburetor, electronic TCI (Transistor Controlled Ignition) system, mechanical governor and automatic compression release. The CS10 engine can be equipped with one of three air cleaner configurations: the standard dual-element air cleaner, heavy-duty cyclonic air cleaner (option), or an oiled, solid foam element (option).

It has a 78.0 mm (3.07 in) cylinder bore and 63.0 mm (2.48 in) piston stroke. Compression ratio rating is 8.1:1. The Command PRO CS10 engine produced 10.1 PS (7.45 kW; 10.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower and 19.66 N·m (2 kg·m, 14.5 ft·lb) at 2,000 rpm of torque.

The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:

  • C – Command series
  • S – Slanted cylinder
  • 10 – output power 10.0 HP
  • Suffix (engine is available with the following options):
    S – Electric starter;
    T – Retractable starter;
    G – Tapered crankshaft;
    P – Threaded crankshaft;
    R – Gear Reduction (2:1 or 6:1);
