Start/Stop Switch is used to stop and start generator set.

  • Page 24: Starting

    Allow a 5-second period between starting attempts if the engine does not start. If the engine fails to start after three attempts, contact an authorized Kohler dealer/distributor for repair. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in burn-out of the starter motor from overheating.

  • Page 25: Circuit Protection

    Circuit Protection AC Circuit Breaker (Optional) The optional AC circuit breaker(s) located on the front panel of the controller protect the generator output windings. If a load circuit loses power, the cause may be a tripped AC circuit breaker. If a tripped circuit breaker is reset and then trips again, find and correct the short in the load circuit that is causing the problem.

  • Page 26: Shutdown Switches

    High Water Temperature Shutdown Switch The high water temperature shutdown switch protects the engine against internal damage if the cooling water temperature in the engine block is too high due to cooling water or coolant circulation problems. The switch is set to trip at 248--266°F (120--130°C). The location of the high water temperature shutdown switch is shown in Figure 2-3.

  • Page 43 13. Reconnect battery, negative lead last. 14. Start generator set and allow the set to run for about 20--30 seconds. Stop generator set and recheck coolant level by removing heat exchanger pressure cap. Add straight coolant, if necessary, until level is just below the overflow tube opening, then reinstall pressure cap.

  • Page 44: Anticorrosion Zinc

    Anticorrosion Zinc An anticorrosion zinc anode is installed in the heat exchanger to prevent electrolytic corrosion by seawater. When different metals, such as iron and copper, are placed in a highly conductive liquid (seawater), the iron gradually rusts. The zinc has chemical properties which cause the seawater to react to it rather than the engine components.

  • Page 51: Wattage Requirements

    Wattage Requirements If the rated capacity of the generator set is exceeded, the circuit breaker located on the controller will trip to protect the generator against damage. Tripping could be caused by a short in the AC circuit in the craft or simply by having too many appliances on at the same time resulting in an overload condition.

  • Page 52: Storage Procedure

    Storage Procedure It is recommended that the craft be afloat when the generator set is prepared for storage since the engine must be started. 1. Add fuel stabilizer recommendations of fuel stabilizer manufacturer. 2. Start generator set and run until operating temperature is reached or about 15 minutes.

    Location General Consider the following in selecting or constructing a generator set location. Compartment/location must allow adequate space for ventilation, cooling and exhaust system installation, service access to the engine and generator, and proper fuel system installation. Engine stringers or other available structural members must provide adequate support for the generator set weight.

  • Page 67: Fuel Systems

    Fuel Systems Fuel Supply Generator sets, in most cases, must draw fuel from the same tank as the propulsion engines. If the tank’ s fuel pickup opening allows, a multiple dip tube arrangement (Figure 6-6) may be used. An alternate tank, if used, should have a smaller separate pickup opening allowing a single dip tube (Figure 6-7).

  • Page 68: Anti-Siphon Provisions

    Anti-Siphon Provisions Anti-siphon devices must be installed if any section of fuel line lies below the highest point of the fuel tank. The anti-siphon device should be either a spring-loaded check valve (tested to function with the particular installation’ s siphon head), or an electrically operated shutoff valve (UL ignition-protected, tested to U.S.C.G.

  • Page 69: Cooling Systems

    Cooling Systems General The following features are necessary in the cooling system. An intake thru-hull strainer (seacock cover) must be screened to prevent entry of foreign objects and must not be aligned (in relation to direction of travel) with the propulsion engine intake.

  • Page 73: Above Waterline

    Above Waterline In addition to considerations described earlier, a customer-supplied silencer should be installed with its outlet at a maximum of 10 horizontal ft. (3 m) from the center of the engine’ s exhaust outlet (see Figure 6-17). A typical silencer should be mounted with the inlet and outlet level and with the drain plug down.

  • Page 74: Electrical Systems

    A typical silencer should be mounted no more than 4 ft. (1.2 m) below the highest point in the exhaust line. Attach a separate wood mounting base to hull stringers or other suitable structure. Then secure the silencer to hull using silencer manufacturer’ s recommendation. Be sure the silencer outlet is not more than 10 horizontal ft.
