MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
The satisfactory performance of engines depends on many factors, the most significant being:
Mode of operation
-
Humidity, barometric pressure and air temperature
-
Number of hours operating at full load
-
Number of hours operating at full speed
-
Engine parameters: ignition timing, cooling temperatures, water flows,...
-
Fuel and lubrication oil quality
-
Proper loading of engine after start sequence
-
Oil and filters changes intervals
-
Use of Kohler products and original spare parts
-
Care taken to ensure that engines are adjusted to factory settings in inspections and maintenance
-
operations
Because of these as well as other similar factors not mentioned, it is difficult to set a precise number of hours of
operation for each engine, before normal servicing becomes necessary.
The maintenance intervals listed in this section do not in any way imply an obligation on behalf of Kohler, and
are given only as a guide to users for maintenance scheduling. Users must take into account operating
conditions and demands to determine the maintenance operations that should be carried out more frequently
than stated on the schedule. In all cases, the number of hours specified are reasonable limits, which should not
be exceeded in order to ensure that the engine works correctly. If the engine maintenance schedule is not
adhered to then the warranty of the same may be cancelled. This document should be studied carefully before
the engine is started up for the first time.
These circumstances can modify the intervals of maintenance operations:
Excessive exhaust back-pressure
-
Insufficient air supply to intake. Air quality
-
High crankcase pressure
-
Low oil pressure
-
Over heating of the jacket water system (boiling)
-
Changes in fuel quality
-
High air temperature
-
Sudden stops and alarms
-
Incorrect realization of maintenance operations
-
Deficient installation or ventilation
-
Incorrect air/fuel ratio
-
Use of non-approved oil
-
