TP-6733 8/1112 Section 1 Installation
The exhaust system is complete for generator sets
installed outdoors. Do not install this generator set
indoors.
Figure 1-2 gives the exhaust temperature at rated load.
The engine exhaust mixes with the generator set
cooling air at the exhaust end of the enclosure. Mount
the generator set so that the hot exhaust does not blow
on plants or other combustible materials. Maintain the
clearances shown in Figure 1-7 in Section 1.5.

Figure 1-2 Exhaust Flow and Temperature
The generator set requires correct air flow for cooling
and combustion. The inlet and outlet openings in the
sound enclosure provide the cooling and combustion
air. Figure 1-3 shows the locations of the cooling air
intake and exhaust vents. Inspect the air inlet and outlet
openings inside and outside the housing to ensure that
the air flow is not blocked.
The generator set is designed to operate with all
enclosure panels and internal baffling in place. If during
installation, maintenance or repair the unit must be
operated without the complete enclosure and baffling as
shipped from the factory make sure the exhaust panel is
removed as well.

1.4.2 Mounting Area
The generator set is shipped on a plastic mounting pad.
Prepare a flat, level mounting area covered with a weed
barrier and gravel or a concrete mounting pad. Set the
plastic mounting pad directly on the gravel or concrete.
Do not install the mounting pad directly on grass, wood,
or other combustible materials. See Figure 1-7 in
Section 1.5.
