Remote Radiator Installation
When installing the remote radiator:
D
Use a remote radiator setup kit to aid installation. See
Figure 3-9.
D
Wire the cooling fan motor to the generator output so
that the fan operates whenever the generator set
operates. There is no need for a thermostatic control
of the fan motor because the engine thermostat
prevents overcooling as it does on generator
set-mounted radiator systems. Follow all applicable
national and local codes when wiring the cooling fan.
D
Follow the wiring diagram on the remote radiator's
fan motor. The motor rotation must match the fan
blade design. The manufacturer supplies most units
with counterclockwise fan rotation as viewed from
motor side. The fan is a blower type, moving air from

the fan side of the radiator, through the core, and out
the front side.
D
Preferably, connect no devices to either side of the
radiator. Resize the radiator if adding louvers or duct
work to the radiator to compensate for reduced
airflow.
D
Ensure that the radiator is level and securely bolted to
a firm, solid foundation.
D
Brace the radiator as needed, especially in areas with
strong winds.
D
Use isolators to keep area vibration from affecting the
radiator or to keep vibration produced by the radiator
from affecting surrounding areas.
D
Use hose clamps on all nonthreaded connections.
