This section provides step-by-stepprocedures with supporting illustrations for operating thegenerator set in conjunction with the auxiliary housingkit, the remote control module and cable, and theautomatic control module.2-9. OPERATION WITH THE HOUSING KIT. Theauxiliary housing kit encloses the top, sides, and ends ofthe generator set and is removable to provide access foroverhaul or replacement of major components of thegenerator set. The housing is attached to the baseassembly and the support frame assembly to provide arain-proof enclosure, and prevent rain, snow, or sandfrom entering the interior of the housing. The housingdoors allow access to the inside of the generator set.The shutter assembly at the radiator end of thegenerator set is automatically controlled and opens asnecessary to facilitate air circulation. Installation of thehousing kit extends the operational capability of thegenerator set down to temperatures from 40°F to -25°F(4.4°C to -32°C). Preparation procedures for startingthe generator set with the housing kit installed are givenin figure 2-9.STEP 1.CHECK LUBRICATING AND COOLANT LELS.STEP 2.CHECK AIR BOX DAMPER POSITION AND RESET MANUALLY TO OPEN IF P E.
