INSTALLATION
Series QP55-G Recreational Vehicle Generator
• 2.2.5 COMPARTMENT FLOOR CUTOUTS
You must provide openings in the generator com­
partment for the following items (Figure 2.8):
• Engine exhaust and cooling air outlets
• Generator cooling air inlet
• Four holes for passage of generator mounting
bolts. See Section 2.1.4 (Page 23).
DANGER
Fuel lines and exhaust piping must not pene­
trate into the vehicle living area.
23 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
It is absolutely essential that an adequate flow of
air for cooling, ventilating and engine combustion
be supplied to the generator set. Without sufficient
airflow,
the engine/generator quickly overheats.
Such overheating can cause serious operating diffi­
culties and also may cause fire and personal injury.
The installer must make sure that sufficient air is
available to the generator for cooling, ventilating
and combustion. The installer also must provide for
a path for exhausting the cooling air to the exterior
of a compartment, if so equipped.
