Kohler KG180 - Stopping (User Stopping and Fault Shutdown); Emergency Stop Switch Resetting

46 TP-6694 2/25
Prime Power Switch
The controller has an optional prime power mode of operation. The prime power mode requires installation of an optional prime
power switch kit. See the section titled: Accessories, for instructions on how to install the optional prime power switch kit. The
prime power switch kit prevents engine starting battery drain when the generator set is shut down and no external battery
charging is available.
Move the prime power switch located on the junction box to the CONTROLLER ON position before attempting to start the
generator set. When the prime power mode is off, all controller functions including the digital display, LEDs, and alarm horn are
operative.
Stop the generator set using the stopping procedures in the section titled: Stopping (User Stopping and Fault Shutdown) before
placing the generator set in the prime power mode. Move the prime power switch located on the junction box to the
CONTROLLER OFF position. When the generator set is the prime power mode, all controller functions including the digital
display, LEDs, alarm horn, and communications are inoperative.
2.4.2 Stopping (User Stopping and Fault Shutdown)
Normal Stopping
Run the generator set without load for 5 minutes to ensure adequate engine cooldown.
The controller has a programmable cooldown timer that functions only when the master control button is in the AUTO mode.
To stop the generator set, press the generator set master control OFF/RESET button and wait until the generator set comes to
a complete stop.
Note:
The cooldown cycle times out before the generator set stops when a remote switch or automatic transfer switch initiates the
generator set start/stop sequence.
Emergency Stopping
Use the controller emergency stop switch or optional remote emergency stop for immediate shutdown.
The emergency stop switch bypasses the time delay engine cooldown and immediately shuts down the generator set.
Note:
Use the emergency stop switch(es) for emergency shutdowns only. Use the generator set master control OFF/RESET button
for normal shutdowns.
The controller fault lamp lights and the unit shuts down when the local or remote emergency stop switch activates.
2.4.3 Emergency Stop Switch Resetting
Use the following procedure to reset the generator set after shutdown by a local or remote emergency stop switch. Refer to the
section titled: Controller Resetting procedure, to restart the generator set following a fault shutdown.
1. Investigate and correct the cause of the emergency stop.
2. Reset the optional remote emergency stop switch by replacing the glass piece, when equipped. Additional glass rods
are available as a service part. Reset the controller emergency stop switch by pulling the switch dial outward.
3. Press the generator set master control OFF/RESET button.
4. After resetting all faults using the controller reset procedure in the section titled: Controller Resetting, press the
generator set master control RUN or AUTO button to restart the generator set. The generator set will not crank until the
