Section 2 Operation
2.1 Prestart Checklist
To ensure continued satisfactory operation perform the
following checks or inspections before or at each
startup, as designated, and at the intervals specified in
the service schedule. In addition, some checks require
verification after the unit starts.
Air Cleaner. Check for a clean and installed air cleaner
element to prevent unfiltered air from entering the
engine.
Air Inlets. Check for clean and unobstructed air inlets.
Battery. Check for tight battery connections. Consult
the battery manufacturer’s instructions regarding
battery care and maintenance.
Exhaust System. Check for exhaust leaks and
blockages. Check the muffler and piping condition and
check for tight exhaust system connections.
Inspect the exhaust system components (exhaust
outlet, exhaust line, exhaust clamps, and muffler) for
cracks and corrosion.
D
Check for corroded or broken metal parts and replace
them as needed.
D
Check for loose, corroded, or missing clamps and
hangers. Tighten or replace the exhaust clamps
and/or hangers as needed.
D
Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.
D
Check the exhaust gas color. If the exhaust is blue or
black, contact your local distributor/dealer.
D
Visually inspect for exhaust leaks (blowby) . Check
for carbon or soot residue on exhaust components.
Carbon and soot residue indicates an exhaust leak.
Seal leaks as needed.
D
Ensure that the carbon monoxide detector is (1) in the
vehicle, (2) functional, and (3) energized whenever
the generator set operates.
Fuel Level. Check the fuel level and keep the tank(s)
full to ensure adequate fuel supply.
Oil Level. Maintain the oil level at or near, not over, the
full mark on the dipstick.
Operating Area. Check for obstructions that could
block the flow of cooling air. Keep the air intake area
clean. Do not leave rags, tools, or debris on or near the
generator set.

2.3 Exercising the Generator Set
Operate the generator set under load once each week
for one hour with an operator present.
The operator should perform all of the prestart checks
before starting the exercise procedure.
Start the
generator set according to the starting procedure in the
controller section of this manual. While the generator
set is operating, listen for a smooth-running engine and
visually inspect the generator set for fluid or exhaust
leaks.

2.4 Starting and Stopping
Procedure
Note: Starter motor cooldown. Do not crank the
engine continuously for more than 10 seconds at
a time.
Allow a 60-second cooldown period
between cranking attempts if the engine does not
start. If the unit fails to start after three attempts,
contact an authorized Kohler distributor/dealer
for repair. Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in starter motor burnout.
Note: Engine restart. If the engine starts and then
stops, allow the engine to come to a complete
stop before making a restart attempt.
If the
flywheel ring gear is still rotating when the starter
pinion gear is engaged, the pinion gear will clash,
which may damage the ring gear teeth.
