  • Generator set with removable panels and captive bolt system
    Patent number: 8602511
    Abstract: A method of retrofitting a generator set includes disconnecting a removable panel from a frame of a generator set housing. In order to accomplish this, short bolts associated with the removable panel are disconnected from nutserts that are permanently affixed to the frame. A removable panel compliance kit is installed to the generator set frame by threading long bolts through the nutserts and then attaching a pair of nuts in a locking configuration on each of the long bolts. The removable panel, which is modified to include keyhole shaped bolt openings, is then reconnected to the frame by advancing the long bolts further into the respective nutserts.
