Removing the Genset
Park the vehicle on a level surface, put the transmis-
sion in PARK, lock the brakes and remove the igni-
tion key. Do not move the vehicle during this proce-
dure.
CAUTION
The underside of the genset can be
damaged by protruding objects — Always rest
the genset on a flat surface that has been
cleared off — Always extend the lifting arms of a
forklift beyond the base of the genset to prevent
them from protruding into the underside cover.
Figure 4-1 illustrates the four lift-hook slots for gen-
set lifting. A lifting rig must spread the hook straps
such that they do not crush or bend parts such as
the control box, air filter and fuel lines while lifting.
See Section 13. Specifications regarding the weight
of the genset and make provisions accordingly for
safe handling.
CAUTION
Avoid tipping the front (service
side) down while handling the genset. Other-
wise, engine oil could drain into and soak the air
filter and cause hard starting and poor opera-
tion unless the filter is replaced.
INSTALLING THE GENSET
Generally, installation is the reverse of removal. Be-
fore installing the genset, repair any damage to and
seal all holes in the vapor-tight, fire-resistive barrier
between the genset and coach interior. Make sure
all mounting bolts and brackets are secure and that
all battery, AC output, control, exhaust, and fuel
connections are proper and in good repair. Perform
the service checklist before placing the genset in
service (Section 12. Service Checklist).
