more than thirty(30) seconds as dam-
age to the generator starter motor may
result. If the generator does not start
within 30 seconds, release the START

cool for at least sixty(60) seconds
before again attempting to start the
generator.
To cease operation of the Generator
system, depress the STOP switch on the
AC/DC Electrical Panel. After the genera-
tor stops running, release the STOP
switch. Continue to operate the blower
motor for several minutes to be certain the

Refer to “Generator” in the Electrical
System pages in this section of this
manual for using the generator output to
power the boat.
While operating your Generator sys-
tem, always be certain there is ad-
equate ventilation in the cabin areas of
your yacht to avoid the potential accu-
mulation of Carbon Monoxide Gas(CO).
Carbon Monoxide Gas is colorless,
odorless and tasteless. It is highly
poisonous, endangering lives even at
very low levels of concentration. Mild
exposure causes headaches and fa-
tigue, often resembling “flu-like” symp-
toms. Medium exposure causes severe
headaches, drowsiness, nausea and
rapid heart rate. Extreme exposure
results in unconsciousness, convul-
sions, cardiorespiratory failure and
death. If Carbon Monoxide Gas is de-
tected in your yacht, immediately con-
tact a qualified technician to locate and
repair the source of the poisonous gas.
DO NOT enter your yacht until repairs
have been made and the Carbon Mon-
oxide Gas is lowered to an acceptable
level. Refer to the Carbon Monoxide
Gas(CO) Detector System Section of
this Owner’s Manual for additional
information and cautions concerning
this deadly gas.
Refer to the KOHLER COMPANY Gen-
erator Manual included with your
owner’s manual for additional technical
information concerning the operation
and maintenance of your generator
system.
