Operation - Ariens 5000 Watt Generator Operator's Manual

 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.
 Repeat with the second wheel.
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell.
If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.
 Never use a generator inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
 ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may
leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See
a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER:
Failure to properly ground generator can result in
electrocution, especially if the generator is equipped with
a wheel kit. National Electric Code requires generator to
be properly grounded to an approved earth ground. Call
an electrician for local grounding requirements.
