2.3 Intended use

– Power supply to the equipment (electric generator) and to equipment auxiliaries as specified by
customer.
– The Diesel engines produced by Kohler Co. are partly completed machinery according to
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC Article 2 g (EU only). They are intended for installation in
machineries.
– Engines that are used in conjunction with alternators as emergency power generator must be
firmly connected to the ground of the operation site. To reduce the vibrations generated, appro-
priate mounting shall be utilized. This mounting must be released by Kohler Co.
– The engines may only be operated in faultless condition.
– Operate the Diesel engine in closed rooms only with adequate ventilation. If additional fresh air
is needed, open the doors and windows.
– The conditions prescribed by the manufacturer of the machinery in which the engine has been
installed are also part of intended use.
– The engine must only be installed by personnel who have been trained and familiarized here-
with and are aware of the dangers.
– Unauthorized changes on the engine or its components voids the liability of Kohler Co. for any
resulting property damage or personal injury. Likewise, interference with the injection and
control system must influence the power and exhaust gas parameters of the engine, meaning
that compliance with statutory environmental requirements is no longer assured.
Any other use above and beyond this is considered to be improper use. In this case, Kohler Co. is
not liable for any damages. The risk is placed solely on the user.
