2) Assemble Clamp parts (if required)
If your clamps came unassembled, please follow these simple steps.
It is very important that the washer always be used between the
knob and the clamp body.
- Slide telescoping rods into clamp bodies.
- Install set pins through clamp bodies and telescoping rods
- Install carriage bolt through one end and seat into clamp
- Loosely install washer and self-locking knob onto carriage bolt
3) Install Clamp on Generator Frame (or Frame Adapter)
- Locate the first clamp to be installed just below the electrical panel on your generator
- If required, slide
rubber sleeve
over frame member
(1” and 1 ¼” frames only –
adapter not for use on 1 ½” frames)
- Position rubber adapter opening to face outward toward clamp opening (fig. A).
Alternatively the rubber adapter opening can face away from the clamp opening if it is
not possible to face it toward the opening.
- Push clamp opening straight onto frame opening (fig. A). The clamp will pop over the
frame. Then slide up and over rubber adapter (fig. B) (if used)
- Position clamp diagonally from sides of the generator frame (fig. C);
- Tighten knob, centered on washer until clamp is firmly in place. This usually requires
2-4 full turns once the knob/washer seat to the clamp body. If the clamp is over
tightened, the clamping strength is reduced as you will notice the clamp mouth begin to
pull away from the frame. In this case, slightly release the tension on the knob
- Repeat procedure on remaining three sides; position clamps at generally the same
height.
