How to fix intermittent connection in PGEN wiring on Kohler Portable Generator?
Verify there are no loose wiring connections or “whiskers” at the PGEN terminal blocks. “Fork”, “ring”, or “crow’s feet” connectors are preferred for terminal block connections.
What to do if my Kohler Portable Generator is in a single generator application?
Configure a digital input to Standalone mode and assert it, or set Standalone mode in Kohler SiteTech. Note, Standalone mode should only be asserted if there is only one generator set at the site.
How to resolve an inability to establish first-on lock on a Kohler Portable Generator?
Cycle power on all generators.
What to do if CB trip relay is wired as normally open in my Kohler Portable Generator?
Verify the CB trip relay is wired to hold a trip on the breaker when the relay is not energized.
