The new KOHLER 12 kW Generator is the only generator in its class powerful enough to start and run a typical, newer 4-ton (48,000 BTU) central air conditioner in the event of a power outage*. Until now, a 17 kW or larger generator was required to run central air along with other major appliances.*
     *Due to the cycling operation of many electrical appliances, the generator set may not run all appliances simultaneously. Check the appliance manufacturer’s specifications for actual power requirements. Consult a Kohler Power Systems professional for your exact residential power system requirements.

for KOHLER “Residential Warranty Statement” 
èèKOHLER® “Onsite Startup” recommended but not required 

NOTICE:  Per the KOHLER Generator Distributor/Dealer agreement, Distributors are required to provide Startup and Warranty service on the Kohler equipment regardless of point of sale.
        Furthermore, Kohler cannot refuse to Warranty the products because they choose to not have a KOHLER Startup performed. Warranty begins upon date of purchase of the unit, not the date of installation/start-up as it would if a KOHLER Startup was performed.
        KOHLER 's purpose of requesting that a KOHLER distributor or dealer perform the Startup is to ensure that the customer's equipment has been properly installed, thus helping to prevent problems.
        If you employ a qualified and competent electrician that you trust, then you should have no problems. However, if problems arise and the owner puts in a “Warranty Call”, and it is determined that the failure is due to improper installation issues, then the problem will not be covered on Warranty (see warranty statement above). If it is determined that the problem is equipment failure due to no fault by the owner, then it will be repaired on Warranty (see warranty statement above).
       Kohler Warranty calls nationwide are so infrequent as to not warrant comment.
       KOHLER is 'Made in the USA' and arguable the highest quality and highest reliability generators available.
