4.7.3 Exhaust system
Exhaust system components installed on any
genset must be approved and correctly
installed to meet the codes and regulations
required by local government.
A muffler and spark arrester have been
installed in your genset. If a generator is used
in a forest, on brush or grass covered
unimproved land it must be equipped with a
Spark Arrestor. It is the responsibility of the
generator owner or operator to maintain the
entire exhaust system in good working
condition.
Engine exhaust must be routed away from
building intake vents, windows, doorways and
other openings.
Because the exhaust discharge is in a vertical position it may be possible for raim water to
enter the muffler. A drain valve has been provided at the base of the muffler to remove any
unwanted water. This process must be completed whilst the engine is shut down, as it may
cause injury.
4.7.4 Ventilation and Cooling system
As the generator produces a high volume of
heat, ventilation and heat dissipation must
be carefully considered. The generator has
been specially designed to operate in
ambient temperatures to 50°C.
If the generator is used outdoors, ensure
that no objects (such as plastic bags, etc.)
are allowed to block the air inlet. The
engine exhaust temperature is high, do not
vent against trees or other objects that
cannot withstand high temperatures. If the
environment is very dusty, the cabinet
filters inside the generator must be cleaned
regularly as required. Remove the cabinet
filters as the follow steps: Loosen the
philips head screw at the top of the grille,
remove the limit stop, and then slide the air
filter out.
If the generator is used indoors, make sure
that there is adequate ventilation to the air
inlets and outlets, and that the engine's
exhaust is ducted out of room.
