Section 1 Specifications and Features
1.1 Specifications
The generator set specification sheets provide specific
generator and engine information. Refer to the spec
sheet for data not supplied in this manual. Consult the
generator set service manual, engine operation manual,
and engine service manual for additional specifications.
Obtain copies of the latest spec sheets, manuals,
diagrams, and drawings from your local
distributor/dealer.
1.2 Generator
The generator uses Kohler’s unique PowerBoostt
voltage regulation system, which provides instant
response to load changes.
PowerBoostt ensures reliable motor starting and
consistent voltage levels. PowerBoostt utilizes a
voltage excitation system that employs a winding
independent of the main output windings to provide
excitation voltage.
1.3 Engine
The generator set has a four-cycle, twin cylinder, air-
cooled Kohlerr engine. The engine operates on
clean-burning natural gas or propane (LP) vapor.
Engine features include:
D Efficient overhead valve design and full pressure
lubrication for maximum power, torque, and reliability
under all operating conditions.
D Dependable, maintenance-free electronic ignition.
D Precision-formulated cast iron construction of parts
subjected to the most wear and tear.
D Field-convertible multi-fuel systems that allow fuel
changeover from natural gas to LP vapor (and
vice-versa) while maintaining CARB emission
certification.
D Digital spark-advance module (DSAM) optimizes
ignition timing for the selected fuel (12RES).
