4.3 Block Heaters
Block heaters are available as installed accessories on
all generator sets. Use block heaters on all standby
applications where the generator set is subject to
temperatures below 16
°
C (60
°
F). Connect the block
heater to a power source that is energized when the
generator set is not running.
Note: Block heater damage. The block heater will fail
if the energized heater element is not immersed
in coolant. Fill the cooling system before turning
on the block heater. Run the engine until it is
warm and refill the radiator to purge the air from
the system before energizing the block heater.
4.4 Oil Makeup Kit
The optional oil makeup kit, available for 30 kW
generator sets, provides an additional 2 quarts of oil for
extended run time. Follow the instructions provided with
the kit to add oil, if necessary, and to check the height of
the oil level sight gauge during generator set installation.

The dropover sound enclosure is available as a loose kit
for field installation.
The enclosure kit includes the
assembled enclosure, radiator duct flanges, and
exhaust system components. Refer to the assembly
drawing included with the kit for installation details.
Connect the exhaust elbow after installing the
enclosure. Install the exhaust pipe with the opening
pointed down and angled toward the center of the
