On your Automatic Transfer Switch ( the little gray box you see on the right in the picture above) you have two blue buttons. One is a Manual test switch. The other has a clock on it and this is your exercise set button. Hold it down for a FULL 3 seconds if you want it to excercise without a load (not powering your home) Hold it down for a FULL 6 seconds if you want it to exercise with a load every week. Your generator will start and run for 20 minutes, and then shut down. Now every week your generator will exercise at the time and day that you pushed the set button.

I have kohler 20RESA generator. I cannot clear the fault that says "engine m/n invalid shutdown". Can anyone help with this? I did go through the reset procedure, but fault reappears immediately.

Emergency shutdown operation is required when one of the above conditions occurs in diesel generator set.Diesel generating set itself has an emergency stop button, at this time, press the emergency stop button or quickly press the stop control handle of fuel injection pump to the stop position, the diesel generator will quickly cut off the load, and immediately close the throttle, while the red "emergency stop" light is on. Need to press the button again to delete the emergency stop signal. If there are serious faults or distribution faults, you can also press the button on the control panel, and the unit will stop immediately.

In fact, all faults always give operators some warning signal before spare parts break down or engine damage occurs. So the operators need to be smart, and notice alarm signals (sudden drop in oil pressure, abnormal sound, etc.) and immediately stopping the engine.
Emergency shutdown operation is different from normal shutdown operation.
Emergency shutdown operation.Once the operator finds that there is a serious fault or distribution fault in thediesel generating set, he can press the emergency stop button of the control panel to stop the unit immediately. If there is no special circumstances, we advise users not to stop the unit at will through the emergency stop button.

Kohler 30RYG generator with G220 transfer switch... weekly exerciser stopped running and won't run manually?

Are there any faults listed on the control display? If display is dark then likely a battery issue. Check battery voltage with a Digital Multi Meter (DMM). It should be at least 12.5VDC.

Kohler 30KW standby keeps throwing Under Voltage code - HELP PLEASE

The UV code has nothing to dow ith oil, poor oil would cause under frequency (low engine speed) Under voltage is caused by excessive load, short in the rotor/stator excition system, and/or AVR automatic voltage regulator. Of course loose wiring to will also cause it.

Kohler exercise causes engine spikes and gasping for fuel.

On exercise it isn't under load, you may have too much gas pressure, have the gas pressure and fuel/air ratio checked on the mixer

Kohler automatic transfer switch RDT CFNA 0100B. I can set it to exercise and it will do so for several weeks then it forgets. No fault shown.

Product manual does not have troubleshoot section.
The operation might be normal, and within expected parameters, or it might have a glitch.
Suggest you contact Kohler Power directly:

How many times per week should I exercise Pilates?

I advise you to combine Pilates as your weekly routine, most trainers will tell you that you should exercise three to four times a week but I can tell you that I have a very tight schedule and two workouts a week is more than enough for me.
