of your generator.

and a needle-nose plier to install this kit.
Refer to Figure 2 and install the wheel kit as follows:
• Place the generator on a hard flat surface.
• Stand at the engine end of the generator and gently tilt
the generator forward, high enough to place wooden
blocks beneath the cradle.This will allow you to add the
wheels.

on the generator cradle.

Make sure the air inflation valve is outward. Insert both
retaining pins using the needle-nose plier. Remove the
