TP-5594 5/95 Scheduled Maintenance 3-1
Section 3. Scheduled Maintenance
General
Schedule routine maintenance using the Maintenance
Schedule following and the hourmeter located on the
generator controller. If the generator will be subject to
extreme operating conditions, service the unit more
frequently. Instructions to perform most of the
scheduled services areprovided in the following pages.
Items in the maintenance schedule marked with an
asterisk (*) must be performed more often if the
generator set is operated in dirty, dusty conditions.
Haveitemsidentifiedwithasterisks(**) performedbyan
authorized Kohler service dealer/distributor. Tools and
instruments required for these additional steps are not
availabletothegeneratorsetowner. The set shouldbe
returned periodically to an authorized service
dealer/distributor for complete servicing and tune-up.
The benefits of such service will be improved
performance and continuous satisfactory operation
during a long trouble-free service life.
NOTE
The items listed in the maintenance schedule must be
performed at the designated intervals for the life of the
generator. For example, an item to be serviced Every
100 Hours or 3 Months must also be serviced after 200
Hours or 6 Months, 300 Hours or 9 Months, etc. The
generator will eventually accumulate enough hours to
warrant a complete overhaul. The exact time at which
extensive service will be necessary cannot be
predicted. However, rough operation, lack of power,
and excessive oil use indicate serious generator set
problems. As part of a preventive maintenance
program, service the engine (clean cylinder head,
inspect valves, check compression, etc.) andgenerator
(replace bearing, inspect wiring, remove debris, etc.) at
the earliest indication that a serious problem exists.
