Compartment Mount
The generator set may be mounted by securing the
generator tray directly to the compartment floor. If floor
mountingis undesirable orimpractical, a full-lengthtray
is available through your Kohler generator dealer. This
tray permits slide tray installation as shown in
Figure 6-12. All installations require observance of
minimumcompartmentclearanceslistedinFigure 6-11.

and the set will not rub while the set is in operation or
while the vehicle is in transit.

Figure 6-11. Minimum Clearance Requirements
NOTE
Minimum clearances listed for cooling-air circulation.
Additional clearance is required for routine servicing of
the generator set.
To meet CSA standard, maintain a minimum clearance
of 3” between exhaust piping and any combustible
material in compartment or surrounding exhaust outlet
in compartment floor
NOTE
To avoid the possibility of igniting combustible material
beneath the vehicle, the mounting tray or fireproof floor
(made of a noncombustible material) must extend the
full length and width of the enclosure. If a floor or end
wall air inlet is used, a fireproof floor must be installed
between mounting tray and enclosure walls.
The thickness of insulating and sound-deadening
material used to line the compartment must be taken
into consideration when planning clearances. If
necessary, enlarge the compartment so minimum
clearance requirements are maintained. Thegenerator
set must be securely fastened to avoid unwanted
movement from vibration and road shock. On a typical
installation, the mounting tray is supported on the ends
