DEFERRED START-UP ENGINE INSPECTION AND
PROTECTION
1/6
1.
INTRODUCTION
The deferred start-up status aims to keep
Kohler
Basic Warranty valid for any new
engine that is going to
be stored for more than 6 months from factory dispatch before its initial start-up
.
Kohler
will grant the deferred start-up status to an engine if all of
Kohler
requirements as specified in this
Product Information Sheet are met.

DEFERRED START-UP STATUS APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
When planning to store a new engine for more than 6 months, the owner shall apply to
Kohler
for the
deferred start-up status. In this event,
Kohler
authorised staff shall inspect and protect the engine fulfilling
all the herein defined obligations.
An engine subject to deferred start-up shall be put into operation within the next 12 months from the date of being
recognised the deferred start-up status.
Kohler
will accept a maximum of two requests for deferred start-up status, the second application having
to be filed no more than 12 months after the first inspection and protection of the engine provided however
that the first request had been made.
As a result of said deferred start-up status, the initial start-up of an engine may occur up to 30 months after
the date of dispatch from factory, with
Kohler
Basic Warranty remaining valid. The total storage and warranty
period shall by no means exceed 42 months from the date the equipment is at the customer's disposal.
If an engine is tested after dispatch from factory and is not started at the operating site within one month from
said testing, then it will be necessary to protect it and to apply for deferred start-up status in order to
withhold its warranty; it will be further requisite to renew said protection once a year.
Engines stored at the mercy of the elements or in humid or corrosive atmospheres may need protections
and inspections more often than specified herein. In those events, consult
Kohler
Siemens Business.
Since the deferred start-up status is no extension of the standard Basic Warranty, there is no cost charged for
it, except for the costs of the inspection made and protective lube oil used by the Authorised Technical
Service Workshop.
The Basic Warranty will become effective from the engine start-up date, provided that the duly filled start-
up report is submitted within thirty days from said start-up, the requests for deferred start-up status had been
filed and the protections implemented. If the owner did not apply for the deferred start-up status, the warranty
period will not be extended as stated in this section.
