ASSEMBLY

INSTALLING WHEELS AND FEET

BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE
GENERATOR, REVIEW THE SAFETY
SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.
Never lift the generator without
assistance. The generator is heavy
and lifting without assistance could
result in personal injury.
Never use the handles as a lifting point to
support the entire weight of the generator.
Only use the handles to move the
generator by lifting the handles and using
the wheels to move the generator.
Use caution when collapsing the handles.
Hands and fingers could get caught and
pinched.
Assembling the generator will require lifting the unit on
one side. Make sure all engine oil and fuel are drained
from the unit prior to assembling. Once assembled, the
wheel kit is not intended for on-road use. The wheel kit
is designed for use on this generator only.
INSTALLING FEET TO FRAME
1. Place generator on a flat surface.
2. Place a piece of cardboard or other soft material to
tip the generator onto, to protect the frame paint and
prevent the generator from sliding. Tip the generator
onto the side.
3. Install the mounting feet to the frame using the M8
flange bolts included.
