2.1 Introduction
Accessories are available factory-installed and/or
shipped loose. Obtain the most current list of
accessories from the generator set specification sheet
or by contacting an authorized Kohler distributor/ dealer.
Have accessories installed by your local authorized
Kohler distributor/dealer or authorized representative.
Follow the installation instructions provided with each kit.
Use separate conduit for AC and DC leads to reduce the
possibility of electrical interference. Use shielded cable
for all analog inputs. Verify that the leads and conduit do
not interfere with the operation of the generator set or
obstruct the service areas.
Refer to the wiring diagrams in Section 4 for more
information regarding generator set electrical
connections and conduit/stub--up locations
(Figure 4-4).
Verify that the accessory installation complies with the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local
and state codes.
The following sections detail a few common accessories
and their functions. Th e instructi ons provided with the
accessory kit supersede these instructions, if different.

opening the enclosure.
DANGER
Engine oil pan heater. Hazardous voltage can cause
severe injury or death. The engine oil pan heater can cause
electrical shock. Disconnect power to the engine oil pan heater
and allow to cool before working on the oil pan heater electrical
connections.
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on the generator set until
it cools.
WARNING
Servicing the engine oil pan heater. Heated components
can cause severe injury. The oil pan heater will rapidly
become hot when energized. Do not touch the oil pan heater
while it is hot. Disconnect power to the engine oil pan heater
and allow to cool before servicing it or nearby parts.
Use an oil pan heater on standby applications where the
generator set is frequently subjected to temperatures
below 0_C(32_F). The oil pan heater comes
factory-installed or as a loose accessory.
The oil pan heater adheres to the bottom of the oil pan
and heats the oil pan when the ambient temperature
falls below 2_C(40_F), making starting easier and
warmup quicker.
To energize the oil pan heater when the generator set is
not running, the oil pan heater must be connected to a
utility power source.
See TT-1633 for detailed installation and connection
instructions.
