NSN 2540-00-066-4281, for your com-
mand post carrier’s 4.2-KW generator
is designed to fit over the generator
before the generator is placed in its
storage box.
Unfortunately, there is so little clear-
ance between the generator and the
storage box that the cover won’t stay
on when the generator is placed in the
storage box. If you try to force it, the
cover gets ripped up. Pretty soon you’re
buying a new cover for about $100.

in
place on the storage box. The genera-
tor doesn’t get much protection that
way and the cover often blows away
in the field.
A better alternative is to have your
canvas shop make a new cover that
will fit around the outside of the stor-
age box. Two cargo straps, NSN 3990-
01-043-8466, around the cover keep it
firmly in place.
The new cover gets used, which pro-
tects the generator, and the cover lasts,
which saves your unit a lot of money.
