ASSEMBLING THE WHEEL KIT
The wheel kit is designed to greatly improve the
portability of your generator.
NOTE: Wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use.
You will need a socket wrench with 1/2" or 13mm
sockets and a needle-nose pliers to install the wheel
kit components.
Refer to illustration shown below and install the wheel
kit as follows:
1. Place the generator on a hard flat surface.
2. Stand at the engine end of the generator and
gently tilt the generator forward, high enough to
place wooden blocks beneath the cradle. This will
allow you to add the wheels.
3. Slide the axle through the holes in the brackets
provided on the generator cradle.
4. Slide a wheel over the axle.
NOTE: Be sure to install both wheels with the air
pressure valve on the outboard side.
5. Place the e-ring onto the groove in the axle. You
may add the flat washer if desired.
NOTE: Use retaining pins instead of e-clip, if applicable.
6. Place one end of the needle nose pliers on the
bottom of the axle and the other end of the pliers
on top of the e-ring. Seat the e-ring by pressing
the pliers closed.
7. Repeat step 4 through 6 to secure second wheel.
