REMOVING THE GENSET
Some
service procedures will require that the gen-
set be removed from
the
vehicle.
The
genset is nor-
mally mounted in a special compartment on
the
ve-
hicle floor. Because installations vary, it is not possi-
ble
to
describe a specific removal procedure. Con-
tact
the
vehicle manufacturer
or
installer if the best
way
to
remove
the
genset is not obvious.

to
the battery,
battery cables
and
vehicle

the loose ends
of
cables connected to the battery touch.
Always
disconnect
the negative
(-)
battery

ing
the battery cables from the genset.
