General Information
This section covers the RV and Mobile Kohler generator
set installation. To determine which model is involved,
check the model number found on the nameplate
attached to the controller of the generator being
installed. Follow all instructions to insure proper
installation.
Features
All models feature Kohler designed and built 4-cycle
air-cooled gasoline engines, rotating field Alternating
Current generators, and Relay Controllers. Each
generator is directly connected to the Kohler engine for
permanent alignment. Permanent magnet type starting
motors are used to crank the engine during start-up.
Each Controller includes a START-STOP switch for test
operating the set at the controller. The controller also
has a keyed connector for connecting a wiring harness
to a remote start-stop switch (usually located on the
dashboard of the vehicle). All Kohler RV/Mobile sets are
mounted on a steel drip pan-type mounting tray for quick
installation to the frame of the vehicle. Add oil as needed
to the crankcase to bring the level up to the max. mark.
