ASSEMBLY

INSTALLING WHEELS AND FEET

BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE
GENERATOR, REVIEW THE SAFETY
SECTION.
CAUTION
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.
NOTICE
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 foot (5) to the frame using M8
flange bolts (2).
