2.10.6 GFCI Receptacle
To reduce chance of electrical shock:
1. Do not attempt to operate equipment if ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) RESET button pops out repeatedly
during use.
2. Remember that only receptacles labeled GFCI have ground fault circuit interrupter protection. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) stops power to protected receptacles (A11) if a ground fault (electrical leak) is detected. If RESET
button pops out, equipment plugged into receptacle (A11) may be faulty. If this happens, check equipment carefully. If
equipment appears to be in good condition, press RESET button firmly until a click is heard. This will restore power. If
RESET button pops out again, unplug equipment immediately. Contact a Kohler portable dealer before attempting to
use it again.
Follow below steps to perform GFCI Receptacle Test:
1. Start engine.
2. Press TEST button, if functioning properly RESET button should pop out, stopping power to outlet.
3. If GFCI operation is correct, push RESET button in. If GFCI operates incorrectly, contact a Kohler portable dealer.

3.2 Initial Commissioning
On taking delivery and commissioning the unit:
1. Check that it is complete and not damaged in any way.
2. If the unit is fitted with a transport bracket, remove it.
The transport bracket is a metal plate located underneath the engine, close to the earth terminal.
Although useful for transportation, it will prevent optimum operation of the unit (noise, vibration).
To remove it: lift the unit slightly and place it on a block then remove the nut (1) and the clamp (2).
3. Check the oil and fuel levels and top them up if necessary.
4. If necessary, connect the battery, starting with the positive terminal.
Observe the polarity of the battery terminals when connecting it: as this could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment.
Some units require a running-in period. Contact your nearest dealer for more information.
Low permeation fuel line must be installed on carbureted Kohler Co. engines to maintain EPA and CARB regulatory compliance.
