This shield came with every 2K1 box but was only used when equiped with a Onan 10 LS -6 110 V generator . It is used to protect the wiring inside the generator compartment from the hot exhaust pipe of the Onan . Wanted to complete my restoration . Photo credit : Reg Hodgson

This is where i am told the shroud was stored when not in use . A special bracket on the front facing wall of the generator compartment . Source : David Dunlop / Reg Hodgson .

For reference : Illustration of the generator found in the user manual that was included in the dedicated tool box ( thanks Dirk Derin ) . The text in the manuel makes reference to the control panel that is omitted on the illustration . The gas tank also looks larger on the actual generator than on the illustration. I suspect the manual uses the illustration of a US Army version of the generator .

That illustration might even be from a civilian manual. Note the long fingernails on the hands ! Possibly drawn by someone not familiar with the military or even working men. (I am not being sexist here and support everyone's right to have long fingernails !)

Thank you David . You are probably right . In the past i have come across this phenomenon. Military production outpaced instructional material and civilian material was used as a stop gap solution.
