ASSEMBLING THE WHEEL KIT
The wheel kit is designed to greatly improve the
portability of your generator.
NOTE: Wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use.
You will need a socket wrench with 1/2" or 13mm
sockets to install the wheel kit.
Refer to illustration shown below and install the wheel
kit as follows:
• Place the generator on a hard flat surface.
• Stand at the engine end of the generator and gently
tilt the generator forward, high enough to place
wooden blocks beneath the cradle. This will allow
you to add the wheels.
• Slide the axle through the holes in the brackets
provided on the generator cradle and then add the
two spacers on each protruding end of the axle.
• Slide one wheel and flat washer on each end of the
axle. Make sure the air inflation valve is outward.
Insert retaining pin and remove the wooden blocks.
• Attach the vibration mounts to the support leg with
30mm capscrews, washers and lock nuts.
• With the wheels on, you can now lift up the
generator end and attach the support leg with 20mm
cap screws and lock nuts.
• Set the generator down so it is level and attach the
handle with 45mm capscrews and lock nuts.
• Check each fastener to ensure it is secure.
