Before you start

  • All remote radiators are sized for mounting in an open area; attached devices, confined installation, louvers, dampers, or ductwork require resizing.

Procedure

  1. Use a remote radiator setup kit and the generator set dimension drawing.
  2. Wire the cooling fan motor to the generator output so the fan runs whenever the generator set runs.
  3. Follow the wiring diagram on the remote radiator fan motor; motor rotation must match the fan blade design.
  4. Connect no devices to either side of the radiator; resize radiator if adding louvers or ductwork.
  5. Ensure the radiator is level and securely bolted to a firm, solid foundation.
  6. Brace the radiator as needed, especially in areas with strong winds.
  7. Use isolators to keep area vibration from affecting the radiator or surrounding areas.
  8. Use hose clamps on all nonthreaded connections.

Specs & values

  • Maximum radiator operating pressure is 110 kPa (16 psi)
  • Maximum horizontal distance from generator set to radiator is 3 m (10 ft.)
