   Dr Jackal to All   
   Help. Kohler 12Res Generator   
   26 Sep 11 09:29:50   
   
   From: jackal@rest.net   
      
   Stationery Kohler 12Res located outside house. This unit is for electrical   
   outages only; it is not used 24/7.   
      
   It had a bad breaker on the generator itself.  The generator tech didn't   
   have a replacement with him, and so he provided a "bypass" temporary fix.   
      
   1) Will this band-aid fix cause any problems with overload, assuming I   
   don't use the unit for washer, dryer, air conditioning, or electric range,   
   but is connected to everything else including hot water heater?   
      
   2) The service co. is notoriously slow and I want the breaker replaced   
   ASAP. Can the breaker be replaced by an electrician, or does he need to be   
   a specialist with experience in dealing with the Kohler panel (inside   
   house) and automatic transfer switch?  Thanks.
