Refer to “Generator” in the Electrical Sys-
tem pages in this section of this manual
for using the generator output to power
the boat.
While operating your Generator system,
always be certain there is adequate venti-
lation in the cabin areas of your yacht to
avoid the potential accumulation of Carbon
Monoxide Gas (CO). Carbon Monoxide Gas
is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is
highly poisonous, endangering lives even
at very low levels of concentration. Mild
exposure causes headaches and fatigue,
often resembling “fl u-like” symptoms.
Medium exposure causes severe head-
aches, drowsiness, nausea and rapid heart
rate. Extreme exposure results in uncon-
sciousness, convulsions, cardiorespira-
tory failure and death. If Carbon Monoxide
Gas is detected in your yacht, immediately
contact a qualifi ed technician to locate and
repair the source of the poisonous gas. DO
NOT enter your yacht until repairs have
been made and the Carbon Monoxide Gas
is lowered to an acceptable level. Refer to
the Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) Detector
System Section of this Owner’s Manual for
additional information and cautions con-
cerning this deadly gas.
Refer to the KOHLER COMPANY Generator
Manual included with your owner’s manual
for additional technical information con-
cerning the operation and maintenance of
your generator system.
Your Generator may not be able to op-
erate all equipment at one time.
