Safety Precautions It is recommended that you read your engine manual and be- come thoroughly acquainted with your equipment before you start the engine. LBWAR”GIThis symbol is used throughouf this manual to warn of possible serious personal injuiy. 1 - 1 This sjmbol refers to possible equip- ment damage. Fuels, electricalequipment, batteries,exhaustgases and mov- ing parts present potential hazards that could result in serious, personal injury. Take care in following these recommended pro- cedures. Safety Codes 0 All local, state and federal codes should be consulted and 0 This engine is not designed or intended for use in aircraft. complied with. Any such use is at the owner’s sole risk General 0 Provide appropriate fire extinguishers and install them in convenient locations. Use an extinguisher rated ABC by NFPA. 0 Make surethat all fastenerson the engine are secure and accurately torqued. Keep guards in position over fans, driving belts, etc. 0 If it is necessaryto make adjustmentswhile the engine is running, use extreme caution when dose to hot exhausts, moving parts, etc. Protect Against Moving Parts 0 Do not wear loose clothing in the vicinity of moving parts, such as PTO shafts, flywheels, blowers, couplings, fans, belts, etc. 0 Keep your hands away from moving parts. Batteries 0 Before starting work on the engine, disconnectbatteries to prevent inadvertent starting of the engine. 0 DO NOTSMOKEwhileservicing batteries.Lead acid bat- teries give off a highly explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by flame, electrical arcing or by smoking. 0 Verify battery polarity before connecting battery cables. Connect negative cable last. Fuel System 0 DO NOT fill fuel tanks while engine is running. 0 DO NOT smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity of the engine or fuel tank. Internal combustion engine fuels are highly flammable. 0 Fuel lines must be of steel piping, adequately secured, and free from leaks. Piping at the engine should be ap- proved flexible line. Do not use copper piping for flexible lines as copper will work harden and become brittle enough to break. L. , 0 Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve, Exhaust System 0 Exhaust products of any internal combustion engine are toxic and can cause injury, or death if inhaled. All engine applications, especially those within a confined area, should be equipped with an exhaust system to discharge gases to the outside atmosphere. 0 DO NOT use exhaust gases to heat a compartment. 0 Make sure that your exhaust system is free of leaks. En- sure that exhaust manifolds are secure and are not warped by bolts unevenly torqued. Exhaust Gas Is Deadly! Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that might cause unconsciousness and death. It is an odorlessand colorless gas formedduring combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are: 0 Dizziness 0 Vomiting 0 Headache 0 Muscular Twitching 0 Weakness and Sleepiness If you experienceany of these symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately, shut down the unit and do not use until it has been inspected. The best protection against carbon monoxide inhalation is proper installation and regular,frequent inspectionsof the com- plete exhaustsystem. If you notice achangeinthe sound orap- pearance of exhaust system, shut the unit down immediately and have it inspected and repaired at once by a competent me- chanic. Cooling System Throbbing in Temples 0 Coolants under pressure have a higher boiling point than water. DO NOT open a radiator pressure cap when cool- ant temperature is above 212 degrees F (1 00 degrees C) or while engine is running. Keep The Unit And Surrounding Area Clean 0 Make surethat oily rags are not left on or near the engine. 0 Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the unit. Ac- cumulated grease and oil can cause overheating and subsequent engine damage and present a potential fire hazard. b 5

General Information c I NTR 0 D U CTI 0 N This manual dealswith specific mechanicaland elec- trical information needed by engine mechanics for troubleshooting, servicing, repairing, or overhauling the engine. Use the table of contents for a quick referenceto the separate engine system sections. Use the separate Parts Catalogs for parts identifica- tion and for establishing their proper location on assemblies. The troubleshooting guide is provided as a quick reference for locating and correcting engine trouble. The illustrations and procedures presented in each section apply to the engines listed on the cover. The flywheel-blower end of the engine is the front end so right and left sides are determined by viewing the engine from the front. The disassembly section contains major overhaul procedures for step by step removal, disassembly, inspection, repair and assembly of the engine components. If a major repair or an overhaul is necessary, a compe- tent mechanic should either do the job or supervise and check the work of the mechanic assigned to do the job to ensure that all dimensions, clearancesand torque values are within the specified tolerances. The wiring diagram on the last page of the manual shows how the electrical components are inter- connected. A parts catalog (available at the dealer level) contains detailed exploded views of each assembly and the individual piece part numbersand their proper names for ordering replacement parts. Use only Genuine Onan replacement parts to ensure quality and the best possible repair and overhaul results. When ordering parts, always use the com- plete Model and Spec number as well as the Serial number shown on the nameplate.

NHC, NHCV Installation Guidelines VENTILATION The engine must be provided with a supply of fresh air for cooling and for combustion (Figure 1). Pressure Cooled Engine Position the air inlet opening directly in front of the engine and as close to the engine blower wheel as possible.Theareaoftheinletshould be not lessthan 80 square inches (516 cm'). If louversor grill work are used, increasethearea to compensateforthe reduced air flow. Provide extra ventilation if the driven load generates heat during operation. The heated air outlet must allow the heated air to escape freely and prevent recirculation with thecool- ing air. A duct betweenthe compartment air inlet and theengine blower housing may be necessary. Locate the air outlet opposite the intake or at least at a 90 degree angle. The area of the outlet should be at least 15 percent larger than that of the inlet. Allow suffi- cient room on all sides to permit access forservicing. Open Air Installation For installations where the engine is operated out- side, ventilation will be no problem. However, in pro- tecting theengine from theelements, seethat nothing obstructs the flow of air around the engine. Vacu-Flo Cooled Engine The vacu-flo equipped engine uses an integral flywheel-centrifugal fan to pull cool air into the engine shroud and over the cooling finsand surfaces of the engine (Figure 1). The heated air is directed through an airtight scroll which encasestheflywheel fan. The scroll may be positionedto discharge heated air in the downward orthe upward left or upward right direction. This is possible because the back section of the scroll (Figure2) has four identical holes shaped to fit over the end of the starter motor. The scroll outlet has a mesh-type screen for safety. . The ouflef of the vacu-flo scroll @!@%I musf nof be resfricfed or overheaf- ing will result. Engine overhea fing can cause troubles ranging from vapor lock to scored pistons and cylinders. The area of the air inlet must be at least 300 square inches (19.35 m2). If a filter, grille, or louver is used, the inlet opening must be increasedaccordingly. The air outlet opening should be located as close to the engine as possible. PRESSURE COOLED m PRESSURE COOLED m VACU-FLO COOLED FIGURE 1. AIRFLOW THROUGH ENGINES Iftheduct length exceeds5feet (1524 mm), increase duct size 30 percent. Use no morethan two 90 degree radius-type (not square-type) elbows if it is neces- sary to change air flow direction. When aduct is used between the scroll discharge and the outlet vent, its unobstructedairflow area must be at least as large as the scroll discharge. The cross-sectional area of the duct must be increased if air flow is restricted by ends, long runs, screens, or the exhaust pipe. b 8
