Section 3. Scheduled Maintenance
Perform routine maintenance using the “Maintenance
Schedule” on the following page and the hourmeter
located on the generator controller. If the generator will
be subject to extreme operating conditions, service the
unit more frequently. Instructions to perform most of the
scheduledservicesareprovidedonthefollowingpages.
Items in the maintenance schedule marked with an
asterisk (*) should be performed more often if the
generatorsetisoperatedindirty,dustyconditions.Items
identified with two asterisks (**) should be performed
only by an authorized Kohler service dealer/distributor.
Of items marked with three asterisks (***) the
manufacturer suggests frequent inspection, change
whenrecommended.Toolsandinstrumentsrequiredfor
these additional steps are usually not available to the
generator set owner. For this reason, the set should be
returned periodically to an authorized service
dealer/distributor for complete servicing and tune-up.
The benefits of such maintenance will be improved

long, trouble-free service life.
NOTE
The items listed in the maintenance schedule must be
performed at the designated intervals for the life of the
generator. For example, an item to be serviced “Every
100 Hours or 3 Months” must also be serviced after200
Hours or 6 Months, 300 Hours or 9 Months, etc. The
generator will eventually accumulate enough hours to
warrant a complete overhaul. The exact time when
extensive service will be necessary cannot be
predicted.However,roughoperation,lackofpower,and
excessive oil use indicate serious generator set
problems. As part of a preventive maintenance
program, service the engine and generator (replace
bearing, inspect wiring, remove debris, etc.) at the
earliest indication that a serious problem exists.
NOTE
HARDWARE DAMAGE! Engine and generator may
make use of both American Standard and metric
hardware. Be sure to use the correct size tools to
prevent rounding of bolt heads and nuts.
