This model Onan does NOT have a high temp shutdown. If they shutdown or won't restart it is not because of any specific safety shutdown built into the machine. It's more like the machine just got too hot and something fails to operate because of the heat.

And yes they do need to NOT suck up their own hot exhausted air.

They had some of these units mounted under the back end of work Vans. They released an air deflector to direct the hotter air away from the front of the machine....I installed a few.

Most larger machines and diesels DO have an over temp shutdown. These would be liquid cooled and have a coolant sensor....

Big generators all have safetys as we call them. L.O.P. Overspeed, Over Temp and more.......all to protect a big dollar unit....
