sides of carton to fit over generator as shown in
Figure 11.
NOTE: If required, remove wheel kit to fit carton over
generator as shown in Figure 11.
3. Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit
4. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.

top of the generator, making sure muffler side of
generator is exposed.
NOTE: Structure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.
2. DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown in
Figure II.
