If the generator cannot be bolted directly to the supporting frame or support tubing, consider using additional tubing, angle brackets or other supports to give the supporting frame sufficient strength.

‹6.1.3 SUSPENDED MOUNTING

If planning to suspend the generator below the hori- zontal support tubing, the suspension method to 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 typical sus- pended mounting system is shown in Figure 6.2. The location of a suspended mounting system must be carefully planned, keeping the following general 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 generator is adequately protected, road test the installation through mud, water and slush.

6.2GENERATOR COMPARTMENTS

Whether the generator set is being installed inside a compartment specifically manufactured to house a generator or inside a compartment that the installer constructs, the compartment MUST meet certain spec- ifications 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”.

Figure 6.4 – Clearances

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

‹6.1.4 GENERATOR RESTRAINT

Use four 3/8"-16 hardened steel bolts (Grade 5) to fasten the generator to the supporting frame or the support tubing. These bolts must pass through (a) the generator mounting base, (b) the compartment

floor (if a compartment is used) and (c) the support- ing framework (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.

‹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.

Guardian Technologies has established itself as a prominent leader in the realm of air purification with its innovative product line, specifically the models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Each model combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to ensure a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

One of the standout features across these models is the use of True HEPA filtration. This technology efficiently captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This is essential for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, providing peace of mind through cleaner air.

In addition to the HEPA filters, Guardian Technologies incorporates activated carbon filters in these models. This feature helps reduce unwanted odors from pets, cooking, and household chemicals, making the air in your home more pleasant. The combination of HEPA and activated carbon makes these models effective for comprehensive air purification.

These models also integrate smart technology, offering user-friendly controls that simplify operation. Many units are equipped with filter change indicators, ensuring users are alerted when it’s time to replace the filters. This promotes optimal air quality and prolongs the efficiency of the machines.

The Guardian Technologies models have a compact and modern design, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any home or office decor. Their lightweight design facilitates easy mobility, enabling users to place them in various locations as needed.

Energy efficiency is another significant characteristic featured in these air purifiers. Many of the models are ENERGY STAR certified, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only helps reduce electricity costs but also makes these purifiers an environmentally friendly choice.

Noise levels are kept to a minimum with these units, ensuring they operate quietly without disrupting daily activities such as work, sleep, or family time. This is particularly important in shared living spaces, where background noise can be a concern.

Overall, Guardian Technologies presents an impressive lineup of air purifiers through models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Their combination of advanced filtration, smart technology, energy efficiency, and stylish design positions them as excellent options for anyone looking to improve their indoor air quality. Whether in a home or office, these models contribute significantly to a healthier living environment, making them a worthy investment for consumers seeking enhanced air purification solutions.
