INSTALLING THE PT-3000

PREPERATION OF PT-3000

Select the location for the PT-3000. Determine if you will need spacers to clear

any bolts or anything that may interfere with installing the unit to the frame rail. If

spacers are required, longer mounting bolts may be required for the install.

LOCATE THE PT-3000 ON THE FRAME RAIL

When choosing a location for the PT-3000, several things need to be considered.

Vehicles with a longer wheel base should have the PT-3000 mounted to avoid

obstructions in the road such as railroad tracks, speed bumps, curbs, etc. Each truck is

different and may require a different installation process. Before beginning the

installation, lay out the placement of all the components that will be installed.

The PT-3000 is designed to be mounted on the existing frame rails of the truck.

Mounting the unit on the frame rail with supplied frame angle brackets and hardware is

the only acceptable installation. Fabrication of another mounting rail may be unsafe with

the given weight and balance of the unit.

Standard PT-3000 Location: Vehicle passenger side.

This is the standard installation choice. Replaces steps into vehicle cab or further

back by the cat walk. Some trucks have steps to the catwalk on the drivers’ side frame

rail, however the passenger side will usually have fewer obstructions.

Alternate PT-3000 Location: Vehicle Driver Side.

This is a secondary installation location. It may be necessary to remove existing

steps to the catwalk.

Radiator must have free air flow with no obstructions

Radiator must be protected from grease sling

Cooling air for the PT-3000 engine and generator is drawn into the enclosure

through an air duct and discharges through the rear panel. These areas must remain free

of any obstructions that would restrict normal air flow.

ASSEMBLE THE MOUNTING BRACKETS

The PT-3000 comes with all the hardware required for the complete installation of

the unit. The loose parts contain all the necessary bolts, nuts and washers for assembling

the frame rail mounting angle brackets.
