That is a blast tube and is required to be supplied with ram air on 35 Amp gens and larger. It's good for all of them to have fresh ram air.David Laseter wrote:On the outboard end of the generator is a band with a hose connection on it. Apparently a hose can be hooked up to this and ram air can be directed on to the generator for cooling? This will be my first summer out of Alaska, do I need to direct cooling air on the generator? Are there other cooling or summer operating procedures ya’ll could pass on concerning the engine?
