WARNING

Fuel presents the hazard of explosion or fire which can result in severe

personal injury or death. Do not use an open flame to check for leaks. Do not

smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light, arc-producing equipment, switch

or other ignition sources around fuel or fuel components. Keep multi-class

ABC fire extinguishers handy.

NOTICE

Follow any local codes and standards, as they may require a different

method or documentation of a leak test.

After assembly, and before initial operation, all fuel system connections, hose,

valves, regulators and fittings must be tested and proven free of leaks using a soap-

and-water (or equivalent) solution while the system is under gas or air pressure of at

least 1.5 times the supply pressure or 3 psi (20.7 kPa) minimum.

1. [Copied from GSBB Manual] Energize the fuel solenoid from a separate 12

VDC source before testing the fuel system.

2. Pressurize the system to a minimum of one and a half times the required fuel

supply pressure.

3. Spray the soap-and-water solution on all of the joints.

4. Inspect all of the joints and monitor the line pressure. If bubbles appear, there is

a leak.

5. If a leak is found, tighten the joints, recheck for leaks, and repair or replace

component(s) as needed.

4.3 Engine Exhaust

The exhaust system for this generator set is complete and was designed specifically

for this generator set. Do not modify or add to the exhaust system of this generator

set.

WARNING

Exhaust gas is deadly. Make sure that the exhaust system terminates away

from building vents, windows, doors, and sheltered spaces that may not

have ample fresh air ventilation.

WARNING

Engine discharge air and exhaust carry carbon monoxide gas (odorless and

invisible) which can cause asphyxiation and death. Never use engine

discharge air or exhaust for heating a room or enclosed space.
