Generator Set Application
Kohlerr Co. ensures that all Kohlerr generator sets are
certified to applicable standards for their intended
application. It is the owner/operator's responsibility to
operate Kohlerr generator sets exclusively according to
the directions provided in the accompanying operation
manuals.
Kohlerr generator sets designated as Stationary
Standby, Emergency or Emergency Standby may only
be operated for emergency power generation and for
maintenance/testing. Emergency power generation is
limited to power production when electric power from a
local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility
runs on its own power production) is interrupted.
Stationary non-emergency application of a Standby,
Emergency, or Emergency Standby rated generator set
is not allowed.
The U.S. Clean Air Act explicitly prohibits using
Emergency Standby generator sets as a primary
electric power source regardless of whether a site is
connected to the electrical grid. Emergency Standby
generators may NOT be used to power sites which are
not connected to an electric utility.
Owners/operators must ensure that the generator is
operated, exercised, and maintained according to this
operation manual. Owners/operators must retain
maintenance records.
