NOTE: Under unique conditions, the controller may not operate normally. If this happens, the controller uses the red LED to represent the
status code To show the status code, the controller holds the red LED for 5 seconds followed by a sequence of flashes that represents the
status code:
1 flash = forced into bootloader
2 flashes = no application software
3 flashes = application code is invalid
4 flashes = RAM check failure
5 flashes = reformatting flash

Carbon monoxide.
Can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death.
The exhaust system must be
leakproof and routinely inspected.
WARNING
Operating the generator set. Carbon monoxide can cause
severe nausea, fainting, or death. Be especially careful if
operating the generator set when moored or anchored under
calm conditions because gases may accumulate. If operating
the generator set dockside, moor the craft so that the exhaust
discharges on the lee side (the side sheltered from the wind).
Always be aware of others, making sure your exhaust is
directed away from other boats and buildings.
2.6.2 Starting the Generator Set
The following procedures describe the actions required
to start the generator set.
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. Check that the marine
ship-to-shore transfer switch, if equipped, is in
the ship position.
Note: If the generator set does not start after 3 crank
attempts (an overcrank fault occurs):
1) Close the seacock.
2) Completely drain the water from the
exhaust system at the silencer’s drain plug.
3) Do not attempt generator set restart.
4) Contact an authorized Kohlerr distributor/dealer .
A water-filled exhaust piping and silencer may
further hinder generator starting and cause
seawater entry into the engine cylinders through
the exhaust valves. Water ingested into the
engine may cause major engine damage that the
Kohler Co. warranty does not cover.
