2.5 Exercising the Generator Set

Operate the generator set under load once each week

for one hour with an operator present.

The operator should perform all of the prestart checks

before starting the exercise procedure.

generator set according to the starting procedure in the

controller section of this manual. While the generator

set is operating, listen for a smooth-running engine and

visually inspect the generator set for fluid or exhaust

leaks.

2.6 Starting and Stopping

Procedure

Note: Opening seacock. Before starting the generator

set, open the seacock to allow cooling water

passage. Failure to do so could damage the

seawater pump impeller and cause serious

engine overheating damage.

Note: Transfer switch.

ship-to-shore transfer switch, if equipped, is in

the ship position.

Note: Close seacock if engine fails to start. If the

engine fails to start after the first attempt, close

the seacock before the next starting attempt.

Failure to close the seacock may cause seawater

to enter the exhaust piping, silencer, and/or

engine.

A water-filled exhaust piping and

silencer may further hinder generator starting

and cause seawater entry into the engine

cylinders through the exhaust valve.

ingested into the engine may cause major engine

damage that the Kohler Co. warranty does not

cover.

Note: Close seacock if water enters the exhaust

system. If water enters the exhaust system,

close the seacock and drain the water from the

exhaust system at the silencer's drain plug before

attempting to start the generator set. If excessive

cranking is a chronic problem, have the unit,

including the exhaust system, serviced by an

authorized Kohlerr distributor/dealer.
