INSTALLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 6.
Wheels are provided to assist in moving the generator to the
desired location and should be installed on the side opposite
the recoil starter.
 Locate the following items:
2 axle bolts
2 spacers
4 washers (5/8 in.)
2 hitch pins
2 wheels
 Raise the handle end of the generator high enough to
gain access to the frame bottom; securely position props
underneath to support.

OPERATION

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.
 Insert the axle bolt through the spacer, then into the
center of the wheel.
 Place a washer on the axle bolt, then slide the axle bolt
through the bracket on the frame.
 Place a second washer on the axle bolt then install a
hitch pin to secure.
 Repeat the process on the other side to install second
wheel.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift the unit by the handle
assembly. If it is necessary to lift the generator,
always grasp by the frame. Use proper lifting
techniques to avoid back injury.
DANGER:
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.
