IMPORTANT: Before any attempt to start your generator be sure to check engine oil (See OPERATION under Adding Engine Oil on page 12.)
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
This generator should be grounded to help prevent accidental electrical shock. Shown below is a picture of the grounding lug supplied on your generator. First, drive a 3/4" or 1" diameter copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the generator set. The pipe must penetrate moist earth. Using #10 gauge wire, connect one end of the wire into the grounding lug. Next, connect the other end of the wire to the copper pipe or rod using an approved ground clamp.
• 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.
This portability kit includes the following parts:
Grounding Lug
INSTALLING WHEEL KIT
The Sears Wheel Kit was designed to greatly improve the portablility of your generator. You will need (2) 1/2" wrenches and (2) 9/16" wrenches.
• Place two 4"x4" pieces of wood on the floor. With |
another person helping, carefully lift the generator and |
place on top of the wood supports. This will support |
the weight of the gasoline engine and generator while |
the wheels, brackets, and handle are installed. Also, it |
will allow access to the underside of the generator for |
hardware installation. Fuel tank should be drained |
prior to installation. Make sure that the generator is |
supported evenly, level and will not fall. |
