INSTALLING THE HANDLES
Refer to the packing list on page 9 to gather the proper
parts and tools for installing the handles.
1. Remove the nuts from the bolts. Slide the handles into
place on the generator frame and align the holes on the
legs with the holes on the frame (Fig. 5).
2. Tighten the nuts onto the bolts using the 10/12mm
wrenches (Fig. 5). Ensure the handles can rotate up and
down. If they cannot, loosen the nuts slightly until the han-
dles are able to rotate up and down.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 3000 FEET
Refer to Fig. 6 to gather the proper parts and tools for in-
stalling the high altitude kit. Installation instructions are
included with the high altitude kits.
This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. Con-

The fuel system on this generator may be affected by op-
eration at high altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured
by installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than 3000
feet above sea level. At elevations above 7000 feet, the en-
gine may experience a decrease in performance, even with
the proper altitude kit. Operating this generator without the
high altitude kit at elevations above 3000 feet may increase
the engine’s emissions and decrease both fuel economy
and performance.
