Air Requirements - Kohler 7ER Installation Manual

3.1 Air Requirements

Air flow around the generator set is necessary for
adequate cooling. See the current generator set
specification sheet for air requirements. The air intake
silencer/cleaner provides combustion air to the engine.
See Figure 3-1 for allowable intake restriction. The
engine/generator performance will be adversely
affected if these guidelines are neglected. Follow these
guidelines to optimize generator set performance.
