Below-Floor Mount - Kohler 4CKM Operation And Installation Manual

Figure 6-12. Slide Tray Feature for Complete
Removal
Make sure that the compartment is vapor tight and
completely sealed off from the inside of the vehicle to
prevent exhaust or other fumes from entering the
vehicle.
If below-floor installation is desired, an enclosure must
be constructed around the generator set to protect
electrical parts from road splash.
If mounted near a vehicle wheel, insure a mud flap is
installed.
Line the compartment with a good sound-deadening
material. The material selected must be fireproof or
highly resistant to fire. An available type of 3-layer foam
material does a very efficient job of absorbing sound.
This type material is easily cut to size with scissors and
can be quickly installed using special fire retardant
adhesive which bonds the material to almost any
surface that is clean and dry.

Below-floor Mount

In a below-floor installation, the generator set is
mounted in an enclosure below the floor of the vehicle.
Kohler offers a kit for below-floor installation. The kit
includes specific installation instructions.
In a below-floor installation, the vehicle must be able to
support the weight of the generator set and enclosure.
Contact vehicle manufacturer if unsure about the
vehicle' s ability to support the unit.
When planning a below floor installation, choose a
proper location and keep in mind the following
suggestions.
D Protect the generator end and or engine end
(depending upon where the unit is positioned in
the vehicle) from road splash by installing mud
flaps.
D Protect air-inlet openings to the generator set' s
enclosure from dirt, rocks or debris. Installing
baffles may help reduce entrance of such
particles into the enclosure.
D Provide an opening large enough on the
vehicle' s side for properly maintaining the
serviceable components of the generator set.
Serviceable components include: oil check, oil
fill, oil filter, carburetor adjustments and circuit
breaker control.
D Provide adequate clearance for movement
and/or removal of exhaust components.
Be sure to follow the mounting hole pattern supplied with
the below floor mounting kit. Keep housing panels
square to each other.
