MOUNTING THE PT-3000 TO THE FRAME
Be sure to use a forklift, transmission jack, overhead lift or other device to lift the
PT-3000. Make sure the unit is stable before trying to place it on the frame rail. Determine
the height the unit needs to be installed and secure the mounting brackets to the enclosure.
Place the unit in the desired location and mark the mounting holes on the frame side rail.
Drill the frame rail to accept the 5/8” bolts and securely fasten.
EXHAUST PIPE
Maintain a minimum 3” clearance between any exhaust components and any
surrounding combustible materials. If the minimum clearance cannot be met an insulating
shield designed for exhaust components must be used. Extend the exhaust outlet a
minimum of 1” past the perimeter of the vehicle. The exhaust system CANNOT be
terminated under the vehicle chassis. Exhaust outlet must be in a position, which prevents
exhaust gases from entering the living quarters. The exhaust system should be routed in a
manner, which eliminates the possibility of re-circulation into the PT-3000 enclosure.
A skid plate may be installed to protect the PT-3000 and exhaust system from road hazards.
Joining the PT-3000 exhaust together with the trucks main exhaust may cause irreparable
harm pleases consult with Power Tech prior to making any such connections.
