DANGER
 Fuel lines and exhaust piping must not penetrate
into the vehicle living area.
2.3 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 difficulties and also
may cause fire and personal injury. The installer must make sure
that sufficient air is available to the generator for cooling, ventilat-
ing and combustion. The installer also must provide for a path for
exhausting the cooling air to the exterior of a compartment, if so
equipped.
