TP-5594 5/952-2 Operation
Controller (Single Phase)
Depending on application, the Kohler relay controller
maybelocatedatthesetoratalocationremotefromthe
generator. Remote harnesses for the controller are
available in 7.5- and 15-foot (2.3- and 4.6-meter)
lengths. If the generator set automatically stops due to
high water temperature (230_F/110_C) or low oil
pressure (7 psi/48.3 kPa or less), correct the cause
before restarting the generator set.
Refer to Figure 2-1 and the following descriptions to
identify controller components.
1. Generator Start/Stop-Preheat Switch. This
switch serves the dual function of generator
operation and generator preheat. When pressed
to the preheat position, the preheat switch aids in
cold weather starting. Refer to Start/Stop and
Preheating procedures following.
2. Fuel Solenoid Fuse. A replaceable 10-amp fuse
protects fuel solenoid circuitry.
3. Controller Fuse. A replaceable 10-amp fuse
protects controller circuitry against damage if a
short develops in the engine wiring system or the
wiring to the remote start/stop switch.
4. Remote Switch Connection (located at rear of
controller).Connectthe remote start/stop switch to

the set. Controller connections are made through
the plug connector at the rear of the unit.
5. Hourmeter. The meter records total generator set
operating hours for reference in maintenance
schedule.

2. DC Circuit Breaker. The generator set will
shutdown automatically after fault. See Circuit
Protection following.

4. AC Circuit Breaker (optional). This circuit
breaker trips when a fault is detected in the output
circuit. Use the breaker to disconnect generator
set during maintenance of vehicle wiring. To close
circuit breaker(s), place in ON position.
5. FuelSolenoidFuse(locatedinsidethecontroller).
A replaceable 10-amp fuse protects fuel solenoid
circuitry.
