STEP 2: INSTALL THE GATOR
GROMMETS
The Gator Grommets level the mount assembly on the
inverter generator and provide grip against the case.
Observe the slope of the case where the Angle Braces
will be installed. It will be vertical, positive or negative.
(see diagram below):
Figure 4: Inverter Case Corner Slope Orientation
The Gator Grommet™ has two wall thicknesses. These
enable leveling the angle brace against different case
slopes as shown below:
If the case corners have a positive slope, install top
grommet with thin side and bottom grommet with thick
side facing the case:

If the case corners are vertical, install the thin side
facing the case on top and bottom:

STEP 3: THREAD THE KEVLAR
STRAP
The ratchet buckle has a ratcheting handle that is used
to tighten the strap that is fed through the center slot.
The following picture shows the ratchet buckle fully
open.
– Orient the ratchet buckle on a long side of the case.
– Lay the Buckle on its side parallel to the inverter
case.
– Orient the strap for thread by sliding your fingers
from the strap sewn to the ratchet across the top to
the end without twisting the strap.
– Slide strap through the Angle Braces without
twisting the strap and being sure the grommets are
oriented toward the case.
