5.5 Cooling System
The engine fan draws cooling air through the openings in the sides and end near the battery. The alternator fan draws cooling air through openings on the side walls of the enclosure. The cooling air mixes with the engine exhaust and is discharged at the exhaust outlet. See the service view in Section 1.8 for air intake and exhaust locations. To prevent generator set damage caused by overheating, keep the housing cooling inlets and outlets clean and unobstructed at all times.
Note: Do not block the generator set cooling air inlets or mount other equipment above them. Overheating and severe generator damage may occur.
5.6 Exhaust System
Remove all combustible materials from the exhaust location. Combustible materials include building materials as well as natural surroundings. Keep dry field grass, foliage, and combustible landscaping material a minimum of 1.5 m (5 ft.) from the exhaust outlet.
Periodically inspect the exhaust system components for cracks, leaks, and corrosion.
DCheck for corroded or broken metal parts and replace them as needed.
DCheck that the exhaust outlet is clear.
