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.
NOTICE:
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 you have not •
already done so.
1.2.3 BATTERY CONNECTION
The battery shipped with the generator has been provided fully •
charged. Caution must be taken when connecting the battery.
Cut the tie wrap cable holding the RED and BLACK battery •
cables to the stator.
Connect the RED battery cable to the battery Positive terminal •
(+). After making sure that the connection is tight, slip the
rubber boot over the terminal connection.
Connect the BLACK battery cable to the battery Negative •
terminal (–). Make sure the connection is tight.
Double check all connections to ensure they are in the correct •
location and secure. See Figure 3.
