ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 6.
Wheels are provided to assist in moving the generator to the
desired location and should be installed on the side opposite
the recoil starter.
 Locate the following items:
2 axles
2 spacers
4 washers (5/8 in.)
2 hitch pins
2 wheels
 Raise the handle end of the generator high enough to
gain access to the frame bottom; securely position props
underneath to support.
 Insert the axle bolt through the spacer, then into the
center of the wheel.
 Place a washer on the axle bolt, then slide the axle bolt
through the bracket on the frame.
 Place a second washer on the axle bolt then install a
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 the process on the other side to install second
wheel.
CONNECTING BATTERY
See Figure 7.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution or explosion, do
not short circuit the battery terminals or charge in
a sealed container. Keep sparks and flame away.
WARNING:
Keep metal objects away from the battery termi-
nals. Metal objects can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together could cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
The battery cables must be connected before the electric
start feature of the generator can be operated.
 Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal first,
then connect the black wire to the negative (−) terminal
using the bolts, nuts, and washers provided. Make sure
all connections are tight.
NOTE: Be careful not to short across the terminals when
installing. Shorting the terminals together can cause
sparks, damage to the battery or generator, or even burns
or explosions.
 Cover the terminals with the rubber covers.
When removing the battery for replacement: Remove the
nut and bolt first from the negative (black) post, then from
the positive (red) post, being careful not to short across the
terminals. Always abide by the safety warnings provided with
the battery. Remove the battery and dispose of according
to local and state regulations.
