Applies to: Kohler 125REOZJG, Kohler 150 REOZJ4, Kohler 150REZG, Kohler 175REOZT4, Kohler 2000REOZM, Kohler 2000REOZMD, Kohler 2250REOZDD, Kohler 275REOZJD, Kohler 275REOZJE, Kohler 400REZX, Kohler 400RZX, Kohler 48REOZK4
Procedure
- Turn reactive droop compensator rheostat on generator set no. 1 to minimum setting.
- Remove controller cover; move voltage sensing lead from V7 to V9 at the AC fuse terminal block.
- Remove any load connected to the generator set.
- Start the generator set with master switch in RUN.
- Use controller or remote voltage adjusting potentiometer to fine adjust voltage.
- Apply resistive load (1.0 power factor) until reaching rated current.
- Adjust reactive droop compensator rheostat to achieve a 4% droop in voltage.
- Remove the resistive load and stop the generator set.
- Return voltage sensing lead from V9 to V7 at the AC fuse terminal block.
- Replace the controller cover and repeat for generator set no. 2.
