Make sure the coolant level in the reserve tank is always
between the "H" and the "L" markings.

NOTE
Cleaning the Outer Radiator
The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the radiator
fins with compressed air. Cleaning inside the radiator is
dangerous, so clean only with the engine turned off and the
battery disconnected.
Air Cleaner
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it in
accordance with the Isuzu Engine Owner's Manual.
Fan Belt Tension
A slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or to
insufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt for
damage and wear and adjust it in accordance with the Isuzu
Engine Owner's Manual.
The fan belt tension is proper if the fan belt bends 10 to 15
mm (Figure 34) when depressed with the thumb as shown
below. Never place hands near the belts or fan while the
generator is running.
Figure 34. Fan Belt Tension
Never place hands near the belts or fan
while the generator set is running.
CAUTION :
Adjusting Fan Belt
If the fan belt does not have the 10 to 15 mm defection
follow the procedure below to adjust:
Loosen the alternator adjusting plate and alternator mounding
bolt.
Pivot the alternator at the mounting bolt toward the engine
left or right until the belt reflects the proper tension.
Tighten the mounting bolt and the adjusting bolt.
