1.2 ASSEMBLY
The generator requires some assembly prior to using it. If problems
arise when assembling the generator, please call the Generator
Helpline at 1-800-333-1322.
1.2.1 ASSEMBLING THE WHEEL KIT
The wheel kit is designed to greatly improve the portability of the
generator. A socket wrench with a 9/16” socket, a 1/2” socket, a
1/2” wrench and a pair of pliers are the tools that will be needed for
assembly of the wheel kit.
NOTE:
The wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use.
Refer to Figure 2 and install the wheel kit as follows:
Place the generator on a hard flat surface.
Stand at the engine end of the unit and gently tilt the generator
forward, high enough to place wooden blocks beneath the cradle.
This will allow space to install the wheel assemblies.
Attach an axle bracket assembly with attached sleeve to either side
of the frame. Ensure the sleeve faces outward.
Slide the axle through the sleeves on the axle brackets.
Slide one wheel with flat washer to the outside and a spacer to the
inside onto each end of the axle. Make sure the air inflation valve
on the wheel is facing outward.
Insert retaining pins and using pliers, bend out the ends to prevent
the pins from falling out of the axle. Remove the wooden blocks.
1.2.2 ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE
Attach the handle by aligning one side of the handle on the cradle,
then spread the handle around the cradle and let it spring into
place. Secure the handle to the frame using the 5/16’ hex head
bolts provided. Check each fastener to ensure that it is secure.
Using the handle, lift the unit high enough to place wooden blocks
under the unit. Attach the front support foot to the underside of the
cradle using the 3/8” carriage bolts provided.
Remove the shipping brackets from the cradle, if it has not already
been done.
