Emission Information
The Kohlerr Model CH740 engine used on the
14RESA/RESAL generator set is certified to operate
using natural gas or propane fuel.
The Kohlerr Model CH1000 engine used on the
20RESA/RESAL and 20RESC/RESCL generator sets
is certified to operate using natural gas or propane fuel
for emergency standby use only. This generator set is
certified by the U.S. EPA for emergency standby
operation backing up a reliable utility source. Operation
outside these guidelines is a violation of national EPA
regulations.
The Emission Compliance Period referred to on the
Emission Control or Air Index label indicates the number
of operating hours for which the engine has been shown
to meet CARB or EPA emission requirements. Figure 3
provides the engine compliance period (in hours)
associated with the category descriptor, which may be
found on the certification label.

Generator Set Application
Kohlerr Power Systems (KPS) ensures that all Kohlerr
generator sets are certified to applicable standards for
their intended application. It is the owner/operator's
responsibility to operate Kohlerr generator sets
exclusively according to the directions provided in the
accompanying operation manuals.
Kohlerr generator sets designated as Stationary
Standby, Emergency or Emergency Standby may only
be operated for emergency power generation and for
maintenance/testing. Emergency power generation is
limited to power production when electric power from a
local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility
runs on its own power production) is interrupted.
The US Clean Air Act explicitly prohibits using
Emergency Standby generators as a primary electric
power source regardless of whether a site is connected
to the electrical grid. Emergency Standby generators
may NOT be used to power sites which are not
connected to an electric utility. The U.S. Clean Air Act
authorizes owner/operator fines of up to $3,750 per day
of operation in violation of the generator set's
certification.
Owners/operators should familiarize themselves with
and perform all testing, maintenance, notification,
reporting and record keeping as required by the Clean
Air Act. In most cases, performance testing is not
required if the generator is operated and maintained
according
to
the
operation
owners/operators must retain maintenance records.
