The PST overwrites any original programs in the
governor controller’s nonvolatile memory. Make a
backup copy of the files onto a disk and store the disk in a
safe place.
The CD-ROM file contents can also be requested
through KOHLERnet. Use your SecurID to access the
KOHLERnet, click on the TechTools button, and follow
the instructions to request files.
Read the entire procedure before beginning. Install the
software onto a PC. Carefully follow these instructions
and any additional instructions that appear on screen
during the download procedure. The instructions
provided assume you know how to operate a PC.
Loading incorrect or incomplete files may cause
permanent damage to the governor controller’s logic
circuit board. Verify that the CD-ROM file contains
settings for your specific generator set and engine. Do
not attempt to modify the data files.
