Installing the D60
While the D60 is manufactured with heavy duty vibration isolators
between the engine and the base plate, VMAC recommends adding
additional vibration mitigation (i.e. additional base plate with
vibration isolators incorporated) if the vehicle will be driven off
of paved roads to prevent impact damage to the frame and other
components.
☐
Locate a suitable mounting location that will distribute the weight of the D60
over its entire base plate.
☐
Place the unit in its intended location and verify that there is a minimum of 12 in
clearance between the unit and any other objects.
☐
Secure the D60 to the vehicle using a minimum of (×4) 3/8 in or 10 mm bolts
(×2 on each end) with washers, and either lock washers or Loctite 242 (blue).
Fuel Supply
If the D60 will be fueled via the vehicle's diesel fuel tank, do not
plumb the fuel line into the lower section of the fuel tank.
☐
Connect the D60 to the vehicle's diesel fuel tank, via the VMAC Fuel pump Kit
(P/N: A500030), or the optional 7 gallon external fuel tank (P/N: A500005).
The fuel supply line is 5/16 in ID and the return line is 3/16 in ID.
Air Discharge
☐
Remove the #12 cap from the air outlet (located on the exhaust side of the
unit) and connect the D60 to the receiver tank (sold separately, see "Accessory
Products from VMAC" on page 84).
Exhaust
Ensure the exhaust pipe has suitable clearance from, and will not
contact, any flammable materials.
If extending the exhaust, a suitable flex coupling or flex pipe must
be used to prevent damage to the muffler and exhaust system.
Dependent upon the length of the extension, extra support may be
necessary.
If the exhaust will be oriented up, ensure an appropriate flapper is
installed to prevent water accumulation in the exhaust system (i.e.
with hinge of flapper pointed toward the front of the vehicle).
The upfitter must supply an exhaust pipe suitable to the application. An exhaust
elbow and flapper kit is available from VMAC (P/N: A500004).
The muffler has a 1 5/8 in ID outlet.
☐
Install an adequate exhaust pipe.
