WARNING
Always shut generator off before any fueling or maintenance procedures.
WARNING
Never position the refueling door on the same side of the generator as the exhaust muffler.
Spilled gasoline can result in fire.
WARNING
Never block or cover the generator exhaust muffler in any way. GenTent canopy must be
installed above generator exhaust muffler. Install GenTent electrical skirts such that they
cannot block exhaust in any way.
CAUTION
Do not over tighten clamps when installing on the frame as failure can occur. Always use the
included washers. This will assure a firm, stable connection that will stay level when the
fiberglass frame is in place.
CAUTION
Always grasp fiberglass rods firmly during installation to avoid the whipping motion that can
occur when a bent fiberglass rod is mistakenly released.
CAUTION
Avoid using GenTent in hurricane force winds (above 60mph).
NOTE
Should generator handles cause significant stretching of the elastic straps when extended, it is
advisable to release the elastics straps on the handle side of the generator before extending
generator handles.
NOTE
Should GenTent cover block pull starter, it is advisable to release the elastic straps on the pull starter
side and temporarily move GenTent canopy out of the way.
NOTE
When using GenTent during snow storms, it is recommended to periodically brush away any
accumulation that blocks the top vent.
