32 Installation Guidelines for Protector Diesel Generators
 Does installation appear to have necessary accesso-
ries to allow fast, reliable starting and operation in
adverse weather conditions (such as engine block
heaters, battery warmers, etc.)?
 Do these parameters meet all applicable codes and
local jurisdiction?
Exhaust System Checklist
NOTE: See Diesel Fuel Systems for more information.
 Are exhaust discharges directed away from combusti-
ble surfaces and inhabited areas?
 Is exhaust piping kept clear of fuel supply, fuel lines,
etc.?

perature insulation blankets where necessary?
 Do these parameters meet all applicable codes and
local jurisdiction?
Fuel System Checklist
NOTE: See Diesel Fuel Systems for more information.
 Was an approved pipe sealant or joint compound
used on all threaded fittings?
 Was installation of an emergency safety shutoff
required? Was correct operation of emergency shutoff
verified?
 Was Final Operating Test performed to verify system
operates correctly in all modes of operation?
 Is there any evidence of leakage at any hoses,
clamps, or fittings?
 Do these parameters meet all applicable codes and
local jurisdiction?
