CAUTION
The Generator, Base Plate and ALL supports
MUST be mounted to the engine.

MOUNTING
The Installation Must Be Performed By A Qualified Mechanic using
the standard mounting hardware supplied. The installer should figure
how to use the component parts furnished with the unit before
attempting the installation. (REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS
ENCLOSED IN THIS MANUAL FOR PART DESCRIPTIONS AND
IDENTIFICATION)
NOTE: ONLY USE ONE BELT TO DRIVE
THE POWER-MITE GENERATOR. THE BELT WIDTH
SHOULD BE 7/16” WIDE.
The
#1 Base Plate
, may be attached to any part of the engine block,
either by direct attachment or by use of the
#4 strips
furnished with
the kit. The
#4 strips
may be connected to the manifold bolts and
the
#1 Base Plate
mounted on the strips. The
#4 Strips
, may be
welded, bent, drilled or cut to accomplish the installation of the
generator within the confines of the engine compartment.
Aligning
the generator with the drive belt is very important and it must
be precisely aligned.
Both
#4 strips
are used to hold the
#1 Base
Plate
. They support the platform for a rigid and secure mount.
The
#2 Saddle Bracket
is used to hold the generator. Fasten it to
the
#1 Base Plate
. Notice that the slots in the
#1 Base Plate
are
cut opposite in direction to the slots in the
#2 Saddle Bracket
.
This permits positioning of the generator both laterally and horizon-
tally, thereby assuring both proper belt tension and proper belt align-
ment. As a further aid to the installation, the
#1 Base Plate
has
slots cut instead of holes, this permits the use of the Base Plate on
different centered holes. Use locktite on bolts on all diesel engine
installations.
The #3 belt tension strip has a long slotted hole that enables the
generator to move enabling belt tension adjustments. Attach the #3
strip with the bolt supplied through the slotted hole directly to the
generators front end bell and mount the opposite end directly to the
engine block.
