2.1 GENERATOR SET INSTALLATION

The generator set is mounted under the center of the trailer chassis and is easily handled with a fork lift truck capable of handling 2,000 pounds. The fork lift pockets provided are accessible from either side. Mounting clamps are designed to be attached to outside I-beam flanges only. Maximum chassis width is 38 inches on center.

a. Standard Mount

1.Loosen mounting bolts (see Figure 2-1) sufficient to push mounting plates to the outermost position.

2.Place forks into fork lift pockets of generator set. At- tach safety chain between unit and fork truck.

3.Center generator under chassis slide mounting plates fully onto chassis I-beams and torque mount- ing bolts to 80 - 90 ft-lbs (11.1 - 12.4 mkg). Upon

completion, remove safety chain before removing forks of fork lift truck from unit.

b. Quick Mount

1.Loosen mounting bolts (see Figure 2-2) sufficient to bring clamp to open position. To orient in open posi- tion, lift nut end of bolt out of slot. Clamp will fall open.

2.Place forks into fork lift pockets of generator. Attach safety chain between unit and fork truck.

3.Center the generator set in desired position under chassis.
