Step 3: Install Handle Assembly
1. Hold handle pivot bracket over pre-drilled holes on
frame as shown in Figure 11.
2. Attach bracket to frame using 40 mm long hex flange
bolts and serrated flange nuts and tighten.
3. Slide handle bar through center of each bracket and
line up bolt holes.
4. Attach handle to each bracket using 40 mm long
flange-head hex bolt and serrated flange nut to hole
closest to frame and tighten.
Handle should be in a horizontal position after tightening
bolts and nuts. If handle seems to hang down, tighten
bolts and nuts further.
5. Attach chain to handle bracket as illustrated below.
Insert pin through bracket and handle.
6. Slide rubber handle grip onto each handle bar and
push to achieve snug fit.
Once properly installed, the handles can be collapsed, if
desired, by removing the pins.
• To collapse handles, remove pins and push firmly
down on handle until it rests vertically against genera-
tor frame.
• To return handles to horizontal position, pull up on
handle and lock with pins.

Hands and fingers can be pinched from collapsible
handles.
• Keep hands and fingers clear from hinges when
collapsing generator handles.
• Handles should only be used to roll the generator to a
new location. If lifting the generator (i.e. into a vehicle),
never use the handles to support the complete weight
of the generator.
