INSTALLATION FACTORS
Each generator set is received as a unit except for the optional exhaust system components,
which are shipped loose for assembly after the set is installed in the vehicle. When preplanning the
installation, the following factors must be considered.
1. COMPARTMENT SIZE: Will there be sufficient room around the set to maintain
the minimum clearance of one (1) inch?
2. AIR REQUIREMENTS: Are the compartment air inlets and outlets sized to allow
adequate circulation of air for cooling and combustion?
3. COMPARTMENT FLOOR: Is the compartment floor strong enough to support the
weight of the generator set?
4. COOLING SYSTEM: Is the cooling system large enough to adequately cool the
generator set? **
5. FUEL SYSTEM: Is the fuel system properly designed to prevent fuel
starvation of either the main engine or generator engine?
6. EXHAUST SYSTEM: Will the exhaust system meet all Local, State and Federal
safety requirements?
7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Will all systems, (battery, load and remote switch)
be compatible with the vehicles system?
** NOTE: When using a radiator not supplied by Power Technology consult your radiator
manufacturer to ensure that heat rejection values are met.
