7.1 Servicing the APU

Required Tools and Equipment:
• Phillips screwdriver
• 10mm socket wrench
• 3/8" open-end wrench
• Digital Voltmeter (DVM) capable of displaying true RMS

Prior to Performing Maintenance Activities:
1. For routine engine maintenance procedures, refer to the Kohler Power Systems COM7.5

Operation Manual included with your generator.

2. Notify contact personnel that the unit will be out of service for maintenance.
