Compartment Mount - Kohler 4CKM Operation And Installation Manual

Compartment Mount

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 6-12. All installations require observance of
minimum compartment clearances listed in Figure 6-11.
Since the sets are flexibly mounted, the minimum
clearances will assure that the sides of the compartment
and the set will not rub while the set is in operation or
while the vehicle is in transit.

NOTE
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
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. The generator
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
by angle iron and has a full door for service access. The
same number of bolts as mounting holes in the tray must
be used to secure the tray to the support structure.
When designing the compartment, allow sufficient room
for the set to be easily removed when major service is
required. See Figure 6-12. Also keep in mind that the
compartment door must have air-intake openings
having a free area equal to or greater than that specified
under Air Requirements following.
