INSTALLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 6.
Wheels are provided to assist in moving the generator to
the desired location and should be installed on the same
side as the handle.
 Locate the following items:
2 axles
2 hitch pins
2 washers
2 wheels
 Raise the end of the generator where the handle is located
high enough to gain access to the frame bottom; securely
position props underneath to support.
 Slide the axle through the hole in the center of the wheel.
 Slide a washer onto the axle, then slide the axle into the
wheel mounting hole as shown.
 Insert hitch pin to secure.
NOTE: The hitch pin should be pushed into the axle until
the center of the pin rests on top of the axle.

ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING BATTERY
See Figure 7.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution or explosion, do not
short circuit the battery terminals or charge in a sealed
container. Keep sparks and flame away.
WARNING:
Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals.
Metal objects can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together can
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
The battery cables must be connected before the electric
start feature of the generator can be operated.
 Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal first, then
connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Make
sure all connections are tight.
NOTE: Be careful not to short across the terminals when
installing. Shorting the terminals together can cause
sparks, damage to the battery or generator, or even burns
or explosions.
 Cover the terminals with the rubber covers.
When removing the battery for replacement: disconnect
the negative (black) post, then the positive (red) post, being
careful not to short across the terminals. Always abide by the
safety warnings provided with the battery. Remove the battery
and dispose of according to local and state regulations.
