Replacing a 12kw Generac, which I installed myself, with a Kohler 14RESAL. It appears that Kohler is not helpful with installation instructions. Has anyone documented their installation that could be made available? Also, where did you find the 4 wire...

I don't have good documentation on my installation. I used a Kohler transfer switch to connect to a water well pump house and to special emergency circuits in the house. I purchased the 4 wire cable from Allied Wire and Cable. The had a short length of 30 feet or so in a warehouse in Milwaukee. The cable is normally sold on 1000 ft spools. I found the cable on the internet.

You have to telephone Leviton. It's complicated but they will walk you thru all the steps. BTW: My unit failed after 30 days or so. They had me return it. They determined the unit did indeed fail. They mailed me another (or my unit repaired). That unit failed in 2 days. Lot of bucks but I trashed the unit. There are less complicated processes on the market I am researching.

Really should have hit the "I don't know" button. I would assume that functionality would be dependent on what other demands are made on the generator at the same time. Asking a Generac engineer might be a better course of action. You may encounter situations similar to folks who vacation in RVs deal with where you need to turn off certain things to allow for running others. Hope I've helped

The big question is: Now that we have burnt out something inside the main unit, can we replace this unit with one that has been made for 240V? If anyone knows where we can source the main body of the machine with a 240V rating, please let me know. Thanks

No it did not, the unit was professionally installed by a licensed electrician to provide power only to a few essential sources for a total wattage of less than 2.2 kW. Now I have a Generac CorePower 7kW and so far I am very satisfied with it as the construction is much sturdier and frankly of much higher quality (i.e., easier to open/close, better electronics) than my old B&S.;

Hi Michael,I tried to find the video on YouTube I used to teach me how to install the diverter, but I couldn't find it. However, I found two separate ones by the same author that should do the trick. As a bonus, he said he'll answer questions if you post them to him. Here they are:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCbXw5bP9I8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLPvtTfRcCk Hope this helps !

As a former Building Code Official of 31years, I would advise you to contact your local building permit department and ask to speak to the mechanical inspector and the fire marshall about this question. I would guess there is a NFPA standard covering this situation. It would also not hurt to contact Kohler or the manufacturer of the equipment the engine is powering. Manufacturer's specs are always helpful to the code official for answers to these types of questions. Good luck.

I don't know, but I suggest you call the 800 number for Kohler. I found them very helpful.

I had the same problem. I called Coleman customer service, and they sent me a replacement generator assembly for free. It took me 15 min. To install, but the new one works fine so far.

I would love to help - but mine was put in by a contractor (on several tries) who said the fan/vent/heater was a b---- to put in, even with the special wall switch. I hope you get it figured out, because the fan/vent/heater is wonderful and I am glad I purchased it.

This is the type of question you need to ask Generac. Have you tried to contact them?
