What to do if the coolant level is low in my Kohler Engine?
- AAlexandra OrtizAug 18, 2025
If the coolant level is low, restore the coolant to the normal operating level.
What to do if the coolant level is low in my Kohler Engine?
If the coolant level is low, restore the coolant to the normal operating level.
What to do if Kohler Engine oil level is low?
If the oil level is low, restore the oil level and inspect the generator set for oil leaks.
What to do if the Kohler Engine fuel tank is empty?
If the fuel tank is empty or the fuel valve is shut off, add fuel and move the fuel valve to the ON position.
What to do if Kohler Engine harness connectors are not locked?
If the engine harness connector(s) are not locked, disconnect the engine harness connector(s) then reconnect it to the controller.
What to do if my Kohler Engine experiences a high temperature shutdown?
If the high temperature has caused a shutdown, allow the engine to cool down. Then troubleshoot the cooling system.
What to do if Kohler Engine controller switch is in the STOP position?
If the controller start/stop switch is in the STOP position, move the controller start/stop switch to the START position.
What to do if my Kohler Engine has a fault shutdown?
If the fault has caused a shutdown, reset the fault switches and troubleshoot the controller.
What to do if Kohler Engine experiences low coolant level shutdown?
If the engine experiences low coolant level shutdown, restore the coolant to normal operating level.
What to do if Kohler Engine fuel pressure is insufficient?
If there is insufficient fuel pressure (gas only), check the fuel supply and valves.
What to do if there is an overload on a Kohler Engine?
If the engine is overloaded, reduce the electrical load.
