88 Limited Generator Service

Question

I need to replace/repair the exhaust manifold on my Onan NHE genset in our 88 Limited. Is there a way to swing the genset down or does it have to be removed to get at the backside of the engine? I have looked at the compartment and there is an angle bracket at the rear that would appear to support the swing down idea but I thought it best to ask to see if anybody knows for sure.

Thx for your help
John

Had the generator removed and found that the exhaust manifold was broken in half due to a blown tag axle tire that hit the exhaust pipe right behind it. Genset had to be lowered using a floor jack and removing the support beams under the genset.

It can be welded, if you not a welder, or know someone who is a welder, it may cost as much as a replacement manifold.

Already ordered and received replacement Onan parts for the generator. Manifold, gaskets, etc., totaled about $400. Generator is back in and running fine and quiet.

Wow! $400, I believe it could have been repaired at half that price, but its done now and working, right.
