Section 4 Air Requirements

4.3 Forced Air

With the forced-air system, cooling air is drawn in
through the front of the engine, circulated around finned
areas of the cylinder block and head, then ejected

toward the rear or generator end of the set. This system
is best suited to wide-open, well-ventilated areas. It is
not recommended for confined areas unless intake
and/or exhaust fans are used to achieve the required air
circulation. See Figure 4-5.
