Great User Connections. The Generator Start Module Is An Easy 4
By Wayne B. 
Alder, Montana
Purchased 07/22/2019 | 
Review Posted 08/14/2019 
The Kohler generator has the best service access of any other gen I have used. The battery enclosure lets you use a full sized battery and the auto start connections work perfectly with start modules for inverters. Nice work, as an renewable energy installer I appreciate the attention to detail. Thanks
