Mounting - Kohler 4CKM Operation And Installation Manual

Mounting

The generator set may be mounted by securing the
generator tray directly to the compartment floor. If floor
mounting is undesirable or impractical, a full-length tray
is available through your Kohler generator dealer. This
tray permits slide tray installation as shown in
Figure 6-6. All installations require observance of
minimum compartment clearances listed in Figure 6-5.
To avoid the possibility of igniting combustible material
beneath the coach, the mounting tray or fireproof floor
(made of a non-combustible 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.

OVERHEATING! The screen position in relation to the
generator end must be as shown in Figure 6-8 or
Figure 6-9 to prevent overheating.

WARNING
Hot engine and exhaust system.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on generator set until unit is allowed to
cool.
Fire can cause severe injury or death. Hot exhaust
system can ignite adjacent combustible materials. Do
not locate electrical wiring, fuel lines, or combustible
material above the exhaust muffler. Be careful when
parking your vehicle to prevent grass fires started by
exhaust system and hot exhaust gases.
Fire can cause severe injury or death. Hot generator
can ignite debris in
compartment and generator set clean and free of debris
and combustible materials to minimize chances of fire.
Do not block fuel/oil drain opening in generator
mounting tray. If sub-flooring is used, cut a
corresponding hole in the sub-flooring for drain opening.
Installation of a baffle plate beneath the generator
engine air discharge is recommended to prevent
expelled air from raising dust or ruining grass beneath
the coach.
Generator sets equipped with optional swing-down tray
should not be left in the tilted position for any extended
period (one hour or more) otherwise, hydrostatic lock
can occur. Always place unit in the normal mounting
position when service is not actually being performed.
