Exhaust Muffler - Drain Water
Be sure to drain the exhaust muffler.
• The exhaust muffler is outside the
scope of our supply.
For the details, refer to the
corresponding manual of the generator
and the supplier's operation manual.
Before checking the turbocharger,
make sure that the engine has cooled
down to normal temperature. Before
checking, make sure that the
compressor wheel is not rotating.
* Otherwise, you may get burned.
* If you are caught in a rotating compressor
wheel, you will suffer laceration.
Make sure that there is no intake air
leak in the piping to the compressor of
the turbocharger.
* If there is intake air leak, insufficient boost
pressure may occur and cause deterioration in
the exhaust gas properties.
Check that the compressor or turbine
of the turbocharger is not dirty.
* If the compressor or turbine of the turbocharger
is dirty, performance degradation of the
turbocharger may occur and cause power
reduction.
Do not touch the exhaust muffler
immediately after the engine is
stopped.
• Make sure that the engine is cooled down
to the normal temperature.
* Otherwise, you may get burned.
