3.7 Exhaust System

WARNING

Carbon monoxide.

Can

cause

fainting, or death.

The

exhaust

leakproof and routinely inspected.

Inspecting the exhaust system. Carbon monoxide can

cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. For the safety of

the craft's occupants, install a carbon monoxide detector.

Consult the boat builder or dealer for approved detector

location and installation. Inspect the detector before each

generator set use. In addition to routine exhaust system

inspection, test the carbon monoxide detector per the

manufacturer's instructions and keep the detector operational

at all times.

At the interval specified in the service schedule, inspect

the exhaust system components (exhaust manifold,

exhaust outlet, exhaust line, exhaust clamps, and

muffler) for cracks, leaks, and corrosion.

Exhaust System Inspection Points

Check for corroded or broken metal parts and replace

them as needed.

Check for loose, corroded, or missing clamps and

hangers. Tighten or replace the exhaust clamps

and/or hangers as needed.

Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.

Check the exhaust gas color. If the exhaust is blue or

black, contact your local distributor/dealer.

Visually inspect for exhaust leaks (blowby). Check

for carbon or soot residue on exhaust components.

Carbon and soot residue indicates an exhaust leak.

Seal leaks as needed.

Ensure that the carbon monoxide detector is (1) in the

vehicle, (2) functional, and (3) energized whenever

the generator set operates.

3.8 Cooling System

WARNING

Hot coolant and steam.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Before removing the pressure cap,

stop the generator set and allow it to

cool. Then loosen the pressure cap

to relieve pressure.

Checking the coolant level. Hot coolant can cause severe

injury or death. Allow the engine to cool. Release pressure

from the cooling system before removing the pressure cap. To

release pressure, cover the pressure cap with a thick cloth and

then slowly turn the cap counterclockwise to the first stop.

Remove the cap after pressure has been completely released

and the engine has cooled. Check the coolant level at the tank

if the generator set has a coolant recovery tank.

3.8.1

Checking the Cooling System

See Figure 3-6 for coolant capacity See Figure 3-7 for

thermostat and pressure cap ratings.

To prevent generator shutdown or damage because of

overheating, keep the cooling air inlets clean and

unobstructed at all times. Inspect the radiator's exterior

for obstructions and remove dirt and foreign material

with a soft brush or cloth to avoid damaging the radiator

fins. Check the hoses and connections for leaks and

replace any cracked, frayed, or spongy hoses. When

checking the coolant level, also check the rubber seal of

the radiator's pressure cap and replace a cracked or

deteriorated cap. The pressure cap raises the boiling

point of the coolant, enabling higher operating

temperatures. If the cap leaks, replace it with the same

rating type of cap. Find the pressure cap rating in

Figure 3-7. Remove dirt and other debris from the

pressure cap and filler neck. See Figure 3-6 for the

coolant capacity.
