VENTILATION
Unrestricted air flow for cooling, ventilation and combustion (Figure 2) is essential for proper genset performance and service life. See HOT AIR RECIRCULATION TEST (Page 27).
The crosshatched areas on Page 16 must be open
for unobstructed air flow into and out of the genset for cooling, ventilation and combustion.
When the genset is installed in a compartment that
surrounds the top and sides (Figure 2), provide
non-flammable baffles (UL 94 HBF foam or better) to prevent hot side-discharge air from recirculating back into the front air inlet grille. The
baffles must extend all the way across the top,
down the front and half way back below the side
air discharge grille. They must close off the gap
between the genset and enclosure.
If the air inlet is in thecompartment door, it must allow
the air to flow straight into each opening of the
inlet air grille without obstruction (Figure 2).
If the air inlet is in the compartment floor in front of the
genset, the opening must be at least 2 inches
(51 mm) wide and extend across the entire front
of the genset (crosshatched area, Page 16).

Fuel Connections
WARNING
Diesel fuel is a combustible and can
cause severe personal injury or death. Do not
smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light, arcproducing equipment, electrical switch or other
ignition source around fuel or fuel components,
or in areas sharing ventilation. Keep a type multi−class fire extinguisher handy.
Do not interconnect genset and vehicle engine fuel
lines. Follow the vehicle chassis manufacturer’s instructions when making connections to the vehicle
engine fuel tank.
CAUTION
Either or both engines could starve
for fuel if the genset and vehicle engine fuel lines
are interconnected. Always use separate fuel
lines or a separate fuel tank for the genset.
To prevent the genset from running the vehicle out of
fuel, do not extend the genset fuel pickup tube down
into the fuel tank as far as the pickup tube for the vehicle engine.
Fuel lines (supply and return) must have at least a
1/4 inch (6.4 mm) ID See Figure 8 for connections at
the genset.
Run the fuel line at or above the top of the fuel tank to
reduce the risk of siphoning fuel out of the tank if the
line should break. The maximum fuel pump lift is
36 inches (1 meter).
Route fuel lines away from electrical wiring and hot
engine exhaust components. Fuel lines should be
accessible for inspection and replacement, protected from damage and secured to prevent kinking,
contact with sharp edges and chafing due to vibration.

BIO−DIESEL FUELS B5 − B20
Approved Bio−Diesel Fuel:
Bio−diesel meeting either ASTM D6751 or
EN14214.
Place the fuel water separator in a location that
is accessible for service by as close the generator set as possible. Locating the separator
ahead of the generator set fuel pump is acceptable.
Fuel meeting either ASTM D6751 or EN14214
fuel can be blended with an acceptable diesel
fuel meeting ASTM D975 meeting ASTMD975
up to 20 percent volume concentration (B20).
For bio−diesel blends above B5 and up to B20 the
following installation requirements must be met:
Supply and Return fuel lines and fittings must be
bio−diesel compatible. Not all fuel hoses and fittings are bio−diesel compatible. All fuel wetted
components must not contain the following materials: copper, brass, bronze, zinc, lead, tin,
natural rubber and nitrile rubber compounds.
Check with your manufacturer for bio−diesel
compatibility.
Fuel tanks must be made from the following ma-
terials: aluminum, steel, flourinated polyethylene, flourinated polypropylene or Teflon
(PTFE).
Verify the vehicle propulsion engine is capable
of using B20 when sharing the same fuel tank
with the generator set.
A bio−diesel compatible fuel water separator is
required. Cummins Onan strongly recommends
using Cummins Filtration filters equipped with
StrataPoret media. This filter media removes
water more efficiently than standard cellulosic
filter media, which will not provide adequate fuel
water separation capabilities. However, even
StrataPoret fuel filter media is not as effective
in removing water from bio−diesel as it is in re-
moving water from petro diesel. Therefore, preventing water from entering the fuel supply (vehicle or storage) remains very important.
Additional information:
Bio−diesel blends have higher pour and cloud
points than standard diesel fuels. Generator set
locations far from the fuel tank combined with
low fuel flow rates can make the generator set
fuel system very susceptible to fuel starvation
related to gelling in cold weather (below 23
C). In addition to electric or coolant tank
–5
F/
heaters, consideration to routing and possible
heating or insulation of the fuel lines to the generator set may be needed.
Bio−Diesel blends can oxidize more quickly
than standard diesel fuels; more frequent fuel filter service intervals may be required and shorter
fuel storage life in tanks is likely.
WARNING
It is highly recommended that specific
market applications are avoided or excercised with
extra care due to some of the properties of bio−diesel
fuel blends such as cold weather operation, long
term storage, material incompatibilities and other effects on engine operating characteristics. Such applications that should use standard fuels include applications that will experience seasonal usage,
storage for periods exceeding 60 days, and extreme
temperatures or humidity.
Storage requirements:
If using bio−diesel for seasonal applications
(stored more than 90 days), the generator set
must be purged before storage by running the
engine on pure diesel fuel meeting ASTM D975
for a minimum of 30 minutes.

must have openings of at least 1.7 square inches
(11 square centimeters) at the top and bottom for
ventilation of battery gasses. Batteries should be
mounted such that spills and leaks will not drip acid
on fuel lines, wiring and other equipment that could
be damaged.

Battery Cables
Battery wiring methods must be in accordance with
the National Electrical Code or IEC 60364-7-708, as
appropriate.
Size battery cables according to Table 3. The current
path between the genset and the negative (−) battery
terminal must also be able to carry full cranking current without causing excessive voltage drop. It is
highly recommended that a full-length cable be used
to connect the genset to the negative (−) battery ter-
minal (Figure 1 1). Note also that codes may require a
bonding conductor between the genset and vehicle
frame and between the battery and vehicle frame.
If the vehicle frame is used as the path between the
negative (−) battery terminal and the genset (Figure 12), all frame members in the path of battery
cranking currents must have substantial cross sections. The electrical resistance of riveted or bolted
frame joints must also be carefully considered, especially if the joints will be exposed to corrosive conditions. A cable sized according to Table 3 must be
used to connect the frame to the designated negative
(−) terminal on the genset (Figure 12). The genset
mounting bolts are not considered adequate
means for bonding the genset to the vehicle
frame, either for the purpose of carrying cranking currents or for complying with requirements
for genset/system grounding.
WARNING

Genset Bonding Terminal
The negative (−) battery cable terminal shown in Fig-
ure 13 is also the bonding terminal for grounding the
genset to the vehicle chassis. If the grounding cable
is also going to carry starter motor current, it must be
sized the same as the battery cables.
Connecting Battery and Bonding Cables
Terminate the battery cables with ring terminals
sized for the 5/16 inch genset terminal screws (Figure 13). Permanently mark each end of each cable
as to its polarity, positive (+) or negative (−). After
making sure the battery cables are not connected at
the battery and that an automatic genset starting system is disabled, connect the battery and grounding
cables to the genset. Torque the terminals to 7.5 lb-ft
(10 N−m).

LOCATION
HOT AIR RECIRCULATION TEST
A representative installation of the genset must be
tested to determine that the genset will not overheat
due to recirculation of hot air back into the genset.
Test Method
Complete a representative installation.
Conduct the test in a well ventilated space in which
carbon monoxide cannot accumulate, but that is
protected from cross drafts that could affect temperature measurements.
Connect a large, constant load to the genset. If a load
bank is available, connect at least 3/4 full load.
If not, connect and run the largest combination
of constant loads that can be kept on during the
test without tripping the genset circuit breaker.
For example, run a combination of air conditioners and lights. Make sure air conditioners stay
on and do not cycle during the test.
Measure temperatures with thermocouples not
heavier than No. 24 AWG (0.21 mm
Measure genset inlet air temperature with one ther-
mocouple tied in the middle of the inlet air grille
(Figure 14).
Measure ambient air temperature with a shielded
thermocouple within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the

sunlight. Use 2 inch diameter white PVC piping
at least 6 inches long as a thermocouple shield.
Close all genset compartment doors and run the
genset for at least 90 minutes. Record temperatures at 15 minute intervals. See Table 4 for an
example of how the data can be arranged for recording and analysis.
