The auxiliary start-up relay (4) should be fitted as close as possible to the engine, either in the terminal box or
on the starter motor itself.
The system has a series of batteries to power the electric starter. The standard batteries used by
Kohler
to start its engines are LEAD BATTERIES. The battery capacities are the minimum needed for the
maximum current during start-up.
If the batteries are to provide other services apart from engine start-up, the installer should size their capacity to
satisfy the services to be provided. A voltage of 24 V DC has been adopted for the starter motor. The batteries
are 12 V and two are installed in series.
