1. Exercising the Generator Set

2.1 Prestart Checklist

To ensure continued satisfactory operation, perform the

following checks or inspections before or at each

startup, as designated, and at the intervals specified in

the service schedule. In addition, some checks require

verification after the unit starts.

Air Cleaner. Check for a clean and installed air cleaner

element to prevent unfiltered air from entering the

engine.

Air Inlets. Check for clean and unobstructed air inlets.

Battery. Check for tight battery connections. Consult

the battery manufacturer's instructions regarding

battery care and maintenance.

Exhaust System.

Check for exhaust leaks and

blockages. Check the muffler condition.

Inspect the exhaust system components for cracks,

leaks, and corrosion. Check for tight exhaust system

connections.

Check for corroded or broken metal parts and replace

them as needed.

Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.

Oil Level.

Check the oil level before starting the

generator set and at the intervals given in Section 3,

Scheduled Maintenance. Maintain the oil level at or

near, not over, the full mark on the dipstick.

Operating Area. Check for obstructions that could

block the flow of cooling air. Keep the air intake area

clean. Do not leave rags, tools, or debris on or near the

generator set.

2.2 Exercising the Generator Set

Operate the generator set without load once each week

for 20 minutes. If the generator set is connected to a

Kohlerr model RRT transfer switch, a weekly ultra-quiet

diagnostic test/exercise can be set to run automatically.

See Section 2.7 for instructions to set the exerciser.

If the generator set is connected to a Kohlerr model

RDT or RSB transfer switch, refer to the transfer switch

instructions to set the automatic exercise function. If the

generator set is not connected to an automatic transfer

switch (ATS) with an exercise option, run the unit in the

presence of an operator.

Section 2 Operation

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. Check the air inlets and outlets and remove any

items restricting the air flow.

2.3 RDC and DC Generator Set/

Transfer Switch Controllers

RES model generator sets are equipped with the

Residential Digital Control (RDC). The RDC controls

the power system generator set and model RRT

automatic transfer switch (ATS) (if equipped).

controller receives voltage sensing data from the ATS

and operates the generator set and transfer switch to

provide standby power when utility power is lost.

If the generator set is not connected to a Kohlerr model

RRT ATS, the RDC/DC controller functions as a

generator set controller only. ATS communication and

functions do not operate with other ATS models. The

ultra-quiet diagnostic test/exercise is not available with

other ATS models.

2.4 Controller Power

The RDC and DC controllers are powered by the

generator set engine starting battery.

Note: The generator sets are equipped with factory-

installed battery chargers to prevent battery

discharge.

The battery charger must be

connected to utility power.
