5.
Attach the exhaust pipe to the outlet of the muffler
using a U-bolt type automotive muffler clamp
marked
1-1
/8 inch
I.D.
6.
Attach an automotive type tailpipe hanger every
2
to
3
feet
(0.6
to
0.9
meters). In addition, the exhaust
system must be supported at or near the perimeter
of the vehicle to prevent the tailpipe from being
damaged and pushed up under the vehicle skirt.
Excessive vibration transfer and
@%!!@!I
exhaust pipe damage can be
caused be angular mounting. Tailpipe hanger
clamps must be mounted directly above the com-
ponent being supported and not at an angle.
7.
Run thegeneratorset for five minutesand checkthe
entire exhaust system (visually and audibly) for
leaks
or
excessive noise. Shut down the generator
set and correct any problems immediately.
Tailpipe Recommendations
Tailpipes must meet several design specifications
to
provide safe generator set operation. It is necessary to
use an Onan-specified exhaust kit designed specifically
for use with this generator set.
Kits are available in two exhaust lengths: 18
to 25
inches
(457-635 mm) and over
25
inches (635 mm).
Refer to the following guidelinesfor selecting and locat-
ing the tailpipe.
Inhalation of exhaust gases can
lawnRNlNGI
result in severe personal injury or
death. Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle interior if
the tailpipe is damaged, missing,
or
improperly
installed. Use the appropriate Onan-specified exhaust
kit and install according to the instructions provided
with the kit.
Use
1-1
/2
inch
O.D.,
18
gauge aluminized or stainless
steel tubing for tailpipe.
Do
not use flexible tailpipe since
it might break due to road shock and vibration.
Install exhaust tailpipe at least
3
inches
(76
mm)
away
from any combustible material (wood felt, cotton,
organic fibers, etc.),
or
be
so
located, insulated,
shielded, that it does not raise the temperature of any
cornbustiblematerial more than
1
17°F(650C)above the
ambient air inlet temperature.
The exhaust system must extend a minimum of
1
inch
(25
mm) beyond the perimeter of the vehicle.
If
the
generator set tailpipe is on the same side
of
the vehicle
as the air intake, terminate the tailpipe downward and aft
of thegenerator set air intake to reduce the possibility of
recirculating exhaust gases.

AWARNING

EXHAUST
GAS
IS
DEADLY!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas. Carbon
monoxide
is
poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death. Symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning can include:
Dizziness
Nausea

Vomiting
0
Weakness and Sleepiness

Throbbing
in
Temples
0
Inability to Think Coherently
IF
YOU
OR
ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE ANY
OF
THESE SYMPTOMS, GET OUT
INTO THE FRESH AIR IMMEDIATE1
Y.
If
symptoms persisf, seek medical atten-
tion. Shut
down
the unit and
do
not operate until
it
has been inspected and
repaired.
Never sleep in vehicle with the generator set running unless the vehicle interior
is
equipped with an operating carbon monoxide detector. Protection against carbon
monoxide inhalation also includes proper exhaust system installation and visual
and audible inspection of the complete exhaust system at the start
of
each
generator set operation.
