QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators

◆6.1.3 SUSPENDED MOUNTING

If you are going to suspend the generator below the horizontal support tubing, the suspension method you use with the vehicle frame members must (a) be able to support the weight of the generator AND (b) provide sufficient restraint for the generator. One typ- ical suspended mounting system is shown in Figure

6.2.The location of a suspended mounting system must be carefully planned, keeping the following gen- eral rules in mind:

•Protect the generator against road splash and debris. Baffles or splash guards may be required to protect certain areas of the generator. To make sure the gen- erator is adequately protected, road test the installa- tion through mud, water and slush.

QUIETPACT 55G

•The installer must make certain that the selected location will permit adequate cooling and ventilat- ing airflow to be supplied.

6.2GENERATOR COMPARTMENTS

Whether the generator set is being installed inside a compartment specifically manufactured to house a gen- erator or inside a compartment that the installer con- structs, the compartment MUST meet certain specifi- cations as outlined in the following sections:

◆6.2.1 COMPARTMENT SIZE

Plan the compartment size carefully. Provide a mini- mum clearance of 1/2 inch (13 mm) on the front and top, 1 inch (25 mm) on the sides, and 1/2 inch (13

mm)from the back for air circulation AFTER the compartment has been lined with metal and sound insulation (Figure 6.4).

NOTE:

Refer to “Figure 5.2 – Major Features and Dimensions” on Page 21.

◆6.1.4 GENERATOR RESTRAINT

Use four 3/8"-16 hardened steel bolts (Grade 5) to fas- ten the generator to the supporting frame or the sup- port tubing. These bolts must pass through (a) the gen- erator mounting base, (b) the compartment floor (if a compartment is used) and (c) the supporting frame- work (Figure 6.3). All bolts must be long enough so that when tight, at least three threads are visible past the retaining lock nuts. Refer to Section 6.2 for the location of the generator mounting holes.

Figure 6.3 – Typical Generator Restraint

◆6.2.2 COMPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION

•The generator compartment should be either con- structed of, or lined with, 26-gauge galvanized steel.

NOTE:

Aluminum is NOT an acceptable alternative to galvanized steel due to aluminum’s low melting point.

•If the compartment is lined with galvanized steel, it may be constructed of any material. Generac rec- ommends that the compartment be constructed of 1/2-inch thick plywood (not strandboard), with the floor made of a double thickness of 1/2-inch ply- wood with the grain of the wood at cross section for added strength (Figure 6.5).
