Product Description
Kohler Power Systems 8.5kW Standby Generator
Features:
• More Powerful Performance
• Kohler·s exclusive PowerBoost technology provides greater motor starting capability for large loads such as central air conditioners while still running other home appliances and electronics.
• Safer Power for Sensitive Electronics
• Many power sources can damage and degrade sensitive home electronics due to unstable power quality or high levels of total harmonic distortion (THD). KOHLER residential generators protect all of your valuable appliances and sophisticated electronics with cleaner, safe and stable power that meets strict utility requirements and IEEE standards for THD.
• Quieter Operation
• Quiet operation: 65 dB(A) at 7 m, similar to a typical vacuum cleaner
• Sound enclosure maintains neighborhood solitude whether you are in self-test or full operation mode
• Faster Response
• While many competitive products can leave you in the dark for 25 seconds or more during an outage, KOHLER generators restore power in as little as 10 seconds.
• Superior five-year limited warranty included
• KOHLER residential generators are commercial grade and have the warranty to back it up. This generator is supported by a premium five-year limited warranty.
• Digital electronic isochronous governor
• Digital voltage regulator
• LED display provides diagnostic capability
• Designed for Easy Installation
• Polymer base eliminates the need for a concrete mounting pad, reducing installation time and cost
• Fuel and electrical connections through the enclosure wall eliminate the need for stub-ups through the bottom
• Emission Certifications
• California Air Resources Board (CARB)-certified for both LP vapor and natural gas (field-convertible)
• Meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) nonstationary unit requirements
IMPORTANT: Warranty Coverage - Stationary standby applications used as a backup to a commercial utility source: Five (5) years or 2000 hours (whichever occurs first) from date of shipment from the factory or registered startup date. Non-standby applications where a utility source is unavailable or unreliable: Eighteen (18) months or 1000 hours (whichever occurs first) from date of shipment from the factory or registered startup date. (Non-standby warranty coverage not applicable for RESL models.) Start up service is not included, your local Kohler Dealer can quote the price for start up.
