Preheat Feature (optional)
13.5CCOZ/11CCFOZ,
18.5CCOZ/15CCFOZ,
14CCOZ/11.5CCFOZ, and
20CCOZ/17.5CCFOZ models only
During cold weather starts (below 40°F [4°C]), place
controller start switch in stop-preheat position for 15-20
seconds before attempting to start generator set to
energize the air heater coil. To prevent damage, do not
energize preheat feature for more than 30 seconds.
NOTE
The start/stop switches of all controllers indicate
preheat. However, an optional preheat kit is required to
make the air intake coil (preheat) functional.
Starting Generator
Open manual fuel shut-off valve (if equipped). Start
generatorsetby placingcontroller masterswitchinstart
position or use remote start/stop switch.
NOTE
If engine fails to start after the first attempt, close the
seacock before next starting attempt. Failure to close
the seacock may cause seawater to enter the exhaust
piping and silencer. Water-filled exhaust piping and
silencermayfurtherhindergeneratorstartingandcause
seawater entry into the engine cylinders through the
exhaust valve.
If water enters the exhaust system, close seacock and
drain water from the exhaust system at silencer drain
plug before attempting to start generator set. If
excessive cranking is a chronic problem, have the unit
(including the exhaust system) serviced by an
authorized Kohler distributor/dealer.
NOTE
Do not crank engine continuously for more than 10
seconds at a time. Allow a 60-second cooldown period
between cranking attempts if the engine does not start.
If the unit fails to start after three attempts, contact an
authorizedKohler distributor/dealerforrepair. Failureto
follow these guidelines may result in starter motor
burnout.
NOTE
After starting the generator set, open the seacock to
allow cooling water passage.
NOTE
Failure to open seacock after generator set is running
could damage the seawater pump impeller and cause
serious engine overheating damage.
NOTE
Check that the marine ship-to-shore transfer switch, if
equipped, is in the proper position.
Stopping Procedure
Run generator set at no load for five minutes to ensure
adequate engine cooldown. To stop the generator set,
place controller start/stop switch or remote start/stop
switch in the STOP position and wait until generatorset
comes to a complete stop.
NOTE
Do not place start/stop--preheat switch (if equipped) in
stop--preheat position for more than 30 seconds or
damage to the preheat feature may occur.
