OPTION 1: CONVERT HANDLES TO QUICK DETACH
This option allows the handles to be quickly detached/attached. If you choose this option, the GenTent can stay
installed, simply release the elastic straps on either side of the electrical panel to temporarily lift the canopy when using
the handles.
The pics below show two different types of quick detach pins, a Clevis pin on the left with a hitch pin clip, and a quick
detach ring pin on the right. Most hardware stores carry at least one type of quick detach pin. You will need four (4) of
these in the 5/16” x 2” size.
The handle is permanently connected to the frame with 4 carriage bolts. Replace these bolts with either of the quick
detach pin types above by unscrewing the existing bolt and simply sliding the quick detach pin into place (then locking it
with the clip pin as appropriate).
The GenTent should be initially installed with the handles off the generator. To move the generator, remove the elastic
from the left and right of the electrical panel and lift the canopy up. Install the handle with the quick detach pins, and
move the generator. When it becomes time to use the generator, move it into place outdoors, remove the handles and
put the elastics back in place under the GenTent clamps to the left and right of the electrical panel.
