Raise the end of the generator where the recoil starter is
located high enough to gain access to the frame bottom;
securely position props underneath to support.
Align the holes on the frame support with the holes on
the generator frame.
Slide a washer on the bolt, then insert the bolt through
the hole in the generator frame and through the frame
support.
Thread bolt through hole in frame support with foot and
tighten securely.
Repeat on other side.
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 handle.
Locate the following items:
2 axles
2 hitch pins
2 washers
2 wheels
Raise the end of the generator opposite where the handle
is located high enough to gain access to the frame bot-
tom; securely position props underneath to support.
Slide the axle through the hole in the center of the wheel.
Slide a washer onto the axle, then slide the axle into the
wheel mounting hole as shown.
Insert 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 with the second wheel.
LOCKING THE HANDLE
See Figures 7 - 8.
Locate the following items:
2 handle lock pins
2 lanyards
Attach the lanyard to the handle lock pin and the handle
as shown in figure 6.
Extend the handle, then insert the pin through the hole
in the handle and the generator frame to secure handle

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift the unit by the handle assembly. If
it is necessary to lift the generator, always grasp by the
frame. Use proper lifting techniques to avoid back injury.

CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING BATTERY
See Figure 9.
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 terminals.
Metal objects can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together can
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
The battery cables must be connected before the electric
start feature of the generator can be operated.
To connect battery cables:
Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal first, then
connect the black wire to the negative (–) terminal. 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: disconnect
the negative (black) post, then the positive (red) post, being
careful not to short across the terminals. Always abide by the
safety warnings provided with the battery. Remove the bat-
tery and dispose of according to local and state regulations.
