STORAGE
INSTRUCTIONS
If your generator set is to be out of service for a considerable length of time, the following steps
should be taken to preserve the set before placing it in storage.
STEP 1: Drain oil from crankcase (while hot) then flush with clean light weight oil. Refill crankcase
with regular weight oil after flushing with the light oil.
STEP 2: Drain fuel from filter sediment bowl, carburetor bowl, and fuel tank. This is done to pre-
vent the gasoline from becoming "stale" which results in formation of gum.
STEP 3: Remove the spark plug, pour about 1 tablespoon of oil into the hole, crank the engine several
times then reinstall the spark plug.
STEP 4: Clean exterior surfaces of generator set then spread a light film of oil over any unpainted
metallic surfaces which could corrode.
STEP 5: Place dust cover over the generator set and store in cool, dry space.
POPULAR OPTIONS
Some of the popular generator set accessory kits which can be quickly added to your recreational
vehicle are described below. These are available from your local Kohler Generator Set Dealer.
HOUR-METER KITS: The hour meter kit includes an attractive panel with hour meter and stop-start
switch as shown below. The hour meter registers the total running time on your generator set. With
this, you'll know exactly when it's time to service your generator set. You can also start and stop your
generator set at the switch on this panel--an amber light in the switch glows whenever the set is running.
The panel can be mounted in a convenient location on the dashboard or partition in your recreational
vehicle. Order Kit #A-237955 when a IO-foot length of coaxial cable is required or Kit #A-237956 when
a 3D-foot long coaxial cable is needed.
LIGHTED STOP-STAR T SWITCH KITS: Without a lighted indicator switch you may have a hard time
determining if your generator set is actually running. These kits include an indicating stop-start switch,
coaxial leads and all hardware for mounting in convenient spot in your recreational vehicle. The switch
glows with an amber light whenever the generator set is operating. In addition to the convenience of
knowing at a glance whether your set is running or not, this feature eliminates the possibility of damage
due to attempts to start the set when it is already running. Order Kit #237961 for switch with IO-foot
long coaxial lead or Kit #237962 for 3D-foot coaxial lead.
