Generating Set Maintenance - Kohler SDMO TECHNIC 10000 A C5 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

4.5 Checking the condition of the air filter
1. Unscrew the wheel (D1) and remove the cover from the air filter (D2).
2. Remove the nut from the filter elements (D5) then the filter elements (D3, D4) and visually inspect their condition.
3. Clean the elements and replace if necessary (
4. Refit following the reverse procedure to removal.
4.6 Starting the generating set
Once the daily checks have been performed and having read the instructions and safety regulations carefully:
1. Open the fuel tap (A7-C1).
2. Turn the key (A8) to the "ON" position: all the indicator lights on the APM202 light up briefly.
3. Press the "START" button on the APM202 (A9) once: after a few seconds, the unit starts.
If necessary, the APM202 automatically activates the choke: the choke push button (A10) lights up.
The APM202 automatically performs 6 starting attempts. If the unit does not start after these 6 attempts, use the choke to override:
wait 1 minute then press the push button before making another start attempt.
4.7 Using the electricity supplied
1. Allow the unit speed to stabilize and the temperature to rise (approx. 3 to 5 min.).
2. If the choke was used, return it gradually to its original position.
3. Connect the equipment to be used to the electrical sockets (A11) on the unit.
4. Use the working hours counter (A12) to monitor the running time of the unit.
For France only: Our units are fitted with sockets where the earthing contact is made using side tabs.
In exceptional cases where the equipment is only fitted with an earthing pin, use an adaptor. After use,
always disconnect the adaptor and store it carefully, away from sources of moisture. Always ensure
that the socket cover on the unit is closed: risk of damage (loss of seal).
4.8 Switching the generating set off
1. Disconnect the equipment used, taking care to close the cover for the unit's sockets (A11).
2. Allow the unit to run idle for 1 or 2 minutes.
3. Turn the key (A8) to the "OFF" position: the unit will shut down.
4. Close the fuel tap (A7-C1).
5. Ensure the unit is properly ventilated and to avoid any risk of fire, wait for it to be fully cool (at least 30 minutes) before
covering it and storing it.
Even when the unit is turned off, the engine continues to give off heat.

necessary experience and are equipped with suitable tools, in respect of current regulations. The maintenance operations to be
carried out are detailed in the maintenance table. The interval for this is supplied as a guide and for generating sets operating with
fuel and oil which conform to the specifications given in this manual. The maintenance intervals can be shortened depending on the
generating set's operating conditions and requirements. It is important to note that the warranty shall not be valid if generating set
maintenance has not be performed correctly.
5.1 Reminder of use
Ensuring maintenance is performed regularly and correctly will guarantee safety and performance. The oil, filter elements and,
where present, the spark plug, are consumables which must be in good condition for the unit to operate correctly.
Replace them regularly as often as is needed (the reference for ready-to-use maintenance kits is given in the table of
technical specifications where applicable). The warranty becomes void in the event of failure to respect the maintenance
recommendations. For any questions about a special operation, please contact your nearest agent who will advise and help you.
