Thread lock nuts onto bolts and tighten one full turn past
snug.
NOTE: Be careful not to overtighten so that foot mate-
rial collapses.
Repeat with remaining foot.
INSTALLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 5.
Wheels are provided to assist in moving the generator to
the desired location and should be installed on the same
side as the handle.
Locate the following items:
2 axles
2 hitch pins
2 wheel covers
2 washers
2 wheels
Raise the end of the generator where the handle is located
high enough to gain access to the frame bottom; securely
position props underneath to support.
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell.
If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these
areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors
does NOT supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may
leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See
a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
ASSEMBLY
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 rests on top of the axle.
Repeat with the second wheel.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE HANDLE
See Figure 6.
Extend the handle, then insert the pin through the hole
in the handle and the generator frame to secure handle
in place.
Never use the handle to lift the generator. The handle should
only be used for moving the unit by rolling it on its wheels.
Releasing the handle:
Remove the handle lock pin and lower the handle to the
down position.
OPERATION
WARNING:
NEVER ignore an automatic shutoff event. IF AUTOMATIC
SHUTOFF OCCURS – YOU MUST leave the area imme-
diately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate
the area thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the
generator is located in an open, outdoor area. Always
point exhaust away from occupied structures. Never
run the generator in enclosed areas (e.g. not in a house
or garage). Failure to follow these instructions can lead
to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which can result in
death or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
If this generator will be used only with cord and plug-
connected equipment, National Electric Code does
not require that the unit be grounded. However, other
methods of using the generator may require grounding
to reduce the risk of shock or electrocution. Consult a
qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency
having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances to find
out if grounding is needed in your situation before using
the generator.
