Too hot to handle.


Summers are hot enough without adding hot air to your M577's 4.2-KW generator, crewmen. That's why the engine air shutter (1) An opaque window that is moved in one direction to let light in and in another to close off the light. In fixed-lens cameras, one shutter often suffices for aperture and speed.  has a SUMMER/WINTER lever lever, simple machine consisting of a bar supported at some stationary point along its length and used to overcome resistance at a second point by application of force at a third point. The stationary point of a lever is known as its fulcrum. .

During cold weather, setting the lever to WINTER deflects cold incoming air past the exhaust manifold manifold

In mathematics, a topological space (see topology) with a family of local coordinate systems related to each other by certain classes of coordinate transformations. Manifolds occur in algebraic geometry, differential equations, and classical dynamics.
. The preheated air makes for easier restarts and a smoother run.

Unfortunately, some crewmen forget to move the switch back to SUMMER when the temperatures go back up. Already hot air becomes scorching scorch  
v. scorched, scorch·ing, scorch·es

v.tr.
1. To burn superficially so as to discolor or damage the texture of. See Synonyms at burn1.

2.
. The generator's air filter is toast and that can cut off the air supply.

So do your 4.2-KW a favor. Flip the engine air shutter lever to WINTER when it's cold and to SUMMER all the rest of the time.
