Suspend exhaust system components beneath the
undercarriage with automotive-type tailpipe hangers
(shock mounted) only.
position directly above exhaust pipe to reduce vibration.
Excessive vibration caused by angular hanger
mounting could cause exhaust pipe damage. If the
tailpipe extends more than 18 in. (45.7 cm) beyond
muffler, attach an additional hanger for support. Use
only automotive-type, U-bolt muffler clamps in exhaust
system installation.
Due to the different locations of mufflers and piping to
these mufflers, clearance requirements must be
followed to protect generator set components and to
avoid igniting adjacent combustible materials.
clearance of 1.5 in. (38 mm) is recommended between
exhaust system parts and fuel system, electrical
system, and all combustible components.
The exhaust piping can be routed through the
compartment
floor
or
6-20 Installation
NOTE
Position hangers in vertical
walls
provided
minimum
clearances are maintained and exhaust piping bends
are minimized. Use a tail pipe as short as possible with
as few gradual bends as possible to reduce back
pressure; maximum back pressure allowed is 28 in.
(700 mm) water column. The exhaust piping must
include an exhaust sleeve or thimble when routed
through a combustible wall. Extend tail pipe a minimum
of 1 in. (25 mm) past perimeter of vehicle.
generator tail pipe is located on the same side as the
compartment air intake, position tail pipe so exhaust
gases will not be recirculated. Installation of 1.61 in. I.D.
flexible tubing must be made between the exhaust
manifold flange and the silencer.
The muffler material must be aluminized steel or other
A
corrosion-resistant material of welded or crimped
construction. Use a USDA-approved type muffler or
muffler fitted with a USDA-approved spark arrestor.
