Section II. OPERATION OF AUXILIARY MATERIAL USED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE EQUIPMENT
2-8. GENERAL. This section provides step-by-step
procedures with supporting illustrations for operating the
generator set in conjunction with the auxiliary housing
kit, the remote control module and cable, and the
automatic control module.
2-9. OPERATION WITH THE HOUSING KIT. The
auxiliary housing kit encloses the top, sides, and ends of
the generator set and is removable to provide access for
overhaul or replacement of major components of the
generator set. The housing is attached to the base
assembly and the support frame assembly to provide a
rain-proof enclosure, and prevent rain, snow, or sand
from entering the interior of the housing. The housing
doors allow access to the inside of the generator set.
The shutter assembly at the radiator end of the
generator set is automatically controlled and opens as
necessary to facilitate air circulation. Installation of the
housing kit extends the operational capability of the
generator set down to temperatures from 40°F to -25°F
(4.4°C to -32°C). Preparation procedures for starting
the generator set with the housing kit installed are given
in figure 2-9.
