3 Kohler Command PRO EFI Planned Product Changes Command PRO EFI engine launched in 2009 MY2015 changes required to keep up with EFI sensor technology changes that will offer improved reliability Key Takeaways Engine performance will not change Engine fit will not change (except for specs with wire guard) New Reliability Improvements: Regulator Rectifier Other miscellaneous changes New spec numbers have been assigned Production starts October 1,

4 Kohler Command PRO EFI Planned Product Changes Created a Kohler designed 20/25 amp reg/rec with overvoltage protection Existing design requires key off to reset New Design Automatic reset after 8-10 sec Potentially prevents dead batteries Introducing a 15 amp reg/rec with overvoltage protection Has same protection as 20/25 amp Applications review required to ensure this can be applied 4

5 Kohler Command PRO EFI Planned Product Changes Other Sensor/Part Changes Current MAP sensor and temperature sensor combined into new T-MAP sensor (T-MAP is now the standard for automotive) Requires changes to manifold to accommodate new sensor Requires changes to wire harness (no impact to customer interface) Throttle Position Sensor change from contacting (brush) to contactless (magnet) to prevent wear Nitride Exhaust Valves provide better durability and emissions Fuse Block change from fir connectors (current) to wing clip connectors (used on 999cc engine) for a more secure fit Requires modification to barrel baffles Crank position sensor bracket Redesign to eliminate creep 5

22 MY 2015 Portables There are no regulatory changes for US or Canada Need feedback on (potential new products/features): Adding E-gov+auto-idle+USB+12V to PRO models Is there a market for extended run pumps? (With generator fuel tanks. Down side: cannot prime, but pumps are self priming) 2 inch Chemical or high-pressure or Trash pump? Solar/Battery generator / 1800 watts Charge with 110V or Solar panel kit LCD Display Can be used to jump start vehicles Load bank for dealers 10/2/

24 MY2015 Updates Auto Fuel Shut Off Available on CH270, CH395 and CH440 Electronic Governor Available on CH270, CH395 and CH440 RH265/RH255 Brand New Consumer Grade Engines 10/2/

25 New Auto Fuel Shutoff It s simple. Shut off the engine, shut off the gas. Feature Shuts off ignition and fuel Benefits Keeps fuel in fuel tank No fuel leaking into the carb No diluted oil No gas saturated air filters No fouled spark plugs 10/2/

26 Electronic Governor on CH Models How the engine benefits from this technology: 1. Eliminates hunting due to mechanical control systems. 2. Maximum power from the electronic governor will be higher than mechanical control systems. Which will allow pressure washer and portable generators to be rated at a higher advertised power level. 3. Allow a tighter frequency range, meaning less variation in rpm under continuous power condition. Our current mechanical system has about +/-2.5 Hz while an electronic governor is around +/-1 Hz under load. No load is about the same. Applications that benefit from this technology: 1. Generators/Welders: deliver consistent, steady frequency output and can auto idle without a solenoid. 2. Pressure washers: prolongs pump life by automatically idling down when the user releases the trigger handle. 3. Water/Trash pumps: engine can be automatically activated based on water level by a remote switch. SOP date: Tank-less/LPAC specs: Nov.15, 2014 SOP date on specs with tank and Quad-Clean: Mar. 1, /2/
