6.3.2 TESTING THE INSTALLATION
The manufacturer recommends testing the installa- tion to be sure adequate cooling airflow is available to the unit before placing the unit into service. If the unit shows signs of overheating, enlarge the air openings. Never place a unit into service until absolutely certain that cooling and ventilation is adequate.
NOTE:
The installation must be tested, especially if bring- ing in air from below the generator set.
6.4GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM
DANGER
Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are explosive. Comply with all codes, standards and regulations pertaining to gasoline fuel systems used in recreational vehicle generators. Properly install and maintain the fuel system and keep it entirely free of leaks. Gasoline vapors must not enter the vehicle interior.
The installation of a gasoline fuel system (Figure 6.10) for a recreational vehicle generator set must comply with applicable codes, standards and regula- tions. The entire fuel system must be completely free of leaks. There must be no possibility of gasoline vapors entering the vehicle interior.
