Kohler SFGLD480 Operation & Maintenance Manual page 217

1. DESCRIPTION
In engine-driven facilities that operate 24 hours a day or similar, it is advisable to mount an oil level controller.
Diesel engines for industrial applications usually incorporate such a device, while engines for marine applications
are not normally equipped with one.
The oil level controller is a mechanical actuator fitted on the oil sump in the lower part of the engine. It is equipped
with a floater inside a small reservoir which opens or closes the oil flow into the engine crankcase based on the oil
level in the oil sump at that time.
KOHLER engines do not use this latter function of the actuator, since they incorporate another system that
monitors the high and low oil levels in the crankcase (Refer to IO-C-M-25-006e, IT-C-A-25-002e or
IT-G-A-25-009e)
For CSA-certified engines, the filling unit is equipped with sensors, a maximum and a minimum sensor, in order to
send alarm signals and/or stop signals to a control panel. (Refer to IT-G-A-25-008e)
