1.2 ASSEMBLY

The generator requires some assembly prior to using it. If problems arise when assembling the generator, please call the Generator Helpline at 1-800-333-1322.

1.2.1 ASSEMBLING THE WHEEL KIT

The wheel kit is designed to greatly improve the portability of the generator. A socket wrench with a 9/16” socket, a 1/2” socket, a 1/2” wrench and a pair of pliers are the tools that will be needed for assembly of the wheel kit.

Note:The wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use.

•Refer to Figure 2 shown on opposite page and install the wheel kit as follows:

•Place the generator on a hard flat surface.

•Stand at the engine end of the unit and gently tilt the generator forward, high enough to place wooden blocks beneath the cradle. This will allow space to install the wheel assemblies.

•Attach an axle bracket assembly with attached sleeve to either side of the frame. Ensure the sleeve faces outward.

•Slide the axle through the sleeves on the axle brackets.

•Slide one wheel with flat washer to the outside and a spacer to the inside onto each end of the axle. Make sure the air inflation valve on the wheel is facing outward.

•Insert retaining pins and using pliers, bend out the ends to prevent the pins from falling out of the axle. Remove the wooden blocks.

1.2.2 ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE

•Attach the handle by aligning one side of the handle on the cradle, then spread the handle around the cradle and let it spring into place. Secure the handle to the frame using the 5/16’ hex head bolts provided. Check each fastener to ensure that it is secure.

•Using the handle, lift the unit high enough to place wooden blocks under the unit. Attach the front support foot to the underside of the cradle using the 3/8” carriage bolts provided.

•Remove the shipping brackets from the cradle, if not already done so.
