The monitoring system of our Kohler propane generator has sent a "UU" message. What does this mean as it causes the generator to shut down 10 seconds after starting? Also how can this be corrected?

Maybe the start motor is damaged. You can check it first.

UU is generator under voltage. Check to see if it does it without laod also. if it does you will need a pro to check and ohm the rotor and stator for shorts

If it has a couple hundred hours or more, try cleaning the slips rings on the back of the rotor shaft. They should be very shiny and not black or polished looking.

You have to reset it because it locked out on on under frequency. Just pullout the fuse on the control panel and then reinstall it a couple of seconds later. Now it will reset the fault codes. Hope that helps.

Here is the code explained direct from Kohler's manual. I'd disconnect the generator load first.
UU Undervoltage Shutdown occurs if the voltage falls below 80% of the nominal system voltage for more than seconds. Check wiring and connections.
Reduce the load and restart the generator set. —
Check wiring and Check controller configuration, system voltage
and frequency (parameter UU).

Check AC voltage and adjust, if necessary. 5.7
Replace the SCR module and test voltage again. 4.9
Separately excite unit. 5.2
Check stator continuity

Means that the engine has turned over for too long without starting. It times out to protect the starter and battery wiring.

U need to make sure that the relay driving ur auto start stay closed all thru the crank cycle.

call koler but ui think is meant high heat as in the thermal circut is shuting you down or low oil
could be a couple of things best bet call kohler

Could be the battery voltage. If your battery is not charging properly, the controller on the unit can do some funky things! Exactly how long does it run for? Is this in auto or manual mode?

Your gas pressure is too low and you may not have a large enough supply pipe. You need at least 10 inches of water column with the engine running to operate an LP vapor fueled engine. Because the engine is starving for fuel, its governor opens the throttle to WOT (so it goes to high revs) but there isn't any fuel to make horsepower with so the output voltage falls and the undervoltage alarm trips.
