6-8 Installation TP-5393 9/93
Mounting
The generator set may be mounted by securing the
generator tray directly to the compartment floor. If floor
mountingis undesirable orimpractical, a full-lengthtray
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.
NOTE
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.
