2.5 Cooling System
Fans in the engine and generator draw cooling air
through the louvered openings in the sides and end of
the sound enclosure. The cooling air mixes with the
engine exhaust and is discharged through the outlet
end.
To prevent generator set damage caused by
overheating, keep the housing cooling inlets and outlets
clean and unobstructed at all times. See Figure 2-8.
Note: Do not block the generator set cooling air inlet or
mount other equipment above it. Overheating
and severe generator damage may occur.

2.6 Exhaust System
Remove 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
safe distance from the exhaust outlet. Check the area
periodically for accumulated debris and seasonal grass
or foliage.
Inspect exhaust system components (exhaust manifold,
exhaust line, flexible exhaust, clamps, silencer and
outlet pipe) for cracks and corrosion.
D
Check for corroded or broken metal parts and replace
them as needed.
D
Check that exhaust outlet is clear.
2.7 Battery
Sulfuric acid in batteries.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Wear protective goggles and
clothing. Battery acid may cause
blindness and burn skin.
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is a diluted sulfuric acid. Battery acid
can cause severe injury or death.
Battery acid can cause
blindness and burn skin. Always wear splashproof safety
goggles, rubber gloves, and boots when servicing the battery.
Do not open a sealed battery or mutilate the battery case. If
battery acid splashes in the eyes or on the skin, immediately
flush the affected area for 15 minutes with large quantities of
clean water. Seek immediate medical aid in the case of eye
contact. Never add acid to a battery after placing the battery in
service, as this may result in hazardous spattering of battery
acid.
Battery acid cleanup. Battery acid can cause severe
injury or death. Battery acid is electrically conductive and
corrosive. Add 500 g (1 lb.) of bicarbonate of soda (baking
soda) to a container with 4 L (1 gal.) of water and mix the
neutralizing solution. Pour the neutralizing solution on the
spilled battery acid and continue to add the neutralizing
solution to the spilled battery acid until all evidence of a
chemical reaction (foaming) has ceased. Flush the resulting
liquid with water and dry the area.
Battery gases. Explosion can cause severe injury or
death. Battery gases can cause an explosion. Do not smoke
or permit flames or sparks to occur near a battery at any time,
particularly when it is charging. Do not dispose of a battery in a
fire.
To prevent burns and sparks that could cause an
explosion, avoid touching the battery terminals with tools or
other metal objects. Remove all jewelry before servicing the
equipment. Discharge static electricity from your body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface
away from the battery. To avoid sparks, do not disturb the
battery charger connections while the battery is charging.
Always turn the battery charger off before disconnecting the
battery connections. Ventilate the compartments containing
batteries to prevent accumulation of explosive gases.
