Important Operating Notes - Westinghouse wGenTent User Manual

IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES

Please review these important operating notes:
NOTE: Should the GenTent cover block pull starter, release the elastic straps
on the pull starter side and temporarily lift GenTent canopy out of the way.
NOTE: When using GenTent during snowstorms, periodically brush away
any accumulation that blocks the top vent or surrounds the generator.
NOTE: The bottom trim of the canopy should align at or slightly below where
the fuel tank connects to the frame. This will prevent pooling water on the
fuel tank and potential drippage toward the outlets. The electrical apron
will cover down to the top of the clamp which should be positioned below
the lowest electrical outlet.
NOTE: Should generator handle cause significant stretching of the elastic
straps when extended, release the elastics straps on the handle side of
the generator before deploying generator handles. Once the generator is
in the desired position, lower the handle, and refasten the elastic straps.
NOTICE
In some cases, adaptation of the portable generator frame is required
to create a proper mounting point for the GenTent clamps. Most
Westinghouse branded portable generators do not need adaptation.
Should you need to adapt your frame, adaption kits are available sep-
arately at 781-334-8368.
1. One corner needs to be adapted because:
1a. A muffler heat shield or other panel is connected to a frame
member that otherwise blocks the GenTent clamp from attaching
directly to the proper location.
2. Four corners need to be adapted because:
2a. The portable generator uses a square tubular frame that must
be adapted to the round openings of the GenTent clamps.
2b. The portable generator is a very small frame and requires length
and width extension (see Clamp Adjustment tables on page 9).
2c. Certain small Westinghouse generators whose frame perimeter
(length and width not including wheels or handles) is between
68 in. (190.5 cm) and 80 in. (203.2 cm) fall into the small frame
category.
