Grounding the Generator, Installing Wheel KIT

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

A grounding lug is supplied with the generator for use when required by local electrical ordinances. Refer to article 250 of the National Electrical Code to clarify any needed grounding information. Your local electric company or a certified electrician should be able to help you with this information.

NOTE: Your engine is already grounded to the frame by a grounding strap.

INSTALLING WHEEL KIT

The Sears Wheel Kit was designed to greatly improve the portability of your generator.

Drain gas and oil before assembling the portability

kit. Failure to do so will cause damage to the engine.

NOTE: Always follow state regulations for proper oil disposal.

•Place generator on level ground; drain all gas and oil from the engine (see engine manual for correct procedure).

•Place a 1” thick x 1’ square piece of wood on the ground in front of the engine. With the help of another person, tilt the generator and rest the recoil starter on the wood. NOTE: This will support the gasoline engine during assembly and make assembly easier.

•Place a handle cap (7) onto each end of handle prior to installation.

•The handle should be installed on the electrical outlet end of the generator. Place one washer (12) on long cap screws (11). Align the handle brack- ets with the upper holes pre-drilled in the genera- tor frame. Place mentioned screws through frame and handle brackets. Secure with lock nuts (8) and tighten.

•Locate the engine support. Place one wheel bracket (4) on top of support as shown in illustra- tion. Align with the pre-drilled holes in support. Place cap screw (9) through hole in bracket and support. Secure with lock nut (8) and tighten.

•Insert one shoulder bolt (2) into wheel (1). Insert threaded end of bolt through wheel bracket, secure with lock nut (3) and tighten. NOTE: The wheel will not rub frame if installed properly.

•Repeat the above steps for the opposite side.

•Insert the threaded stud of rubber foot (10) through the middle hole of the foot bracket (5). Secure with lock nut (8) and tighten.

•Locate the support under the electrical outlet end of the generator. Position foot bracket (5), with rubber foot installed, under the support and align the holes in the foot bracket (5) with the slots in the support. Place one cap screw (9) through each slot in the support and the holes in the foot bracket. Secure with the lock nuts (8) and tighten.

•Once completed, the wheel kit is ready for use.
