Determine the Angle Brace Location and Grommet Setup
Determining the location of the Angle Braces means you must also
determine the best configuration of your Gator Grommets™. In this section
you will learn how to best install your Gator Grommetsonto your Angle
Braces and where they will be installed once tightened via the Kevlar®
Ratchet Strap.
a. Hold an Angle Brace on a corner nearest to the electrical panel, slightly under the
electrical outlets (Fig 1.6) with the grommet pins up and down.
b. Identify the placement of your Angle Brace and determine the slope of the case for
each corner. The way in which it curves (or not) determines if the case has a
positive, negative or no slope. (Fig 1.7) You will need this information in the next
section.
c. If the Angle Braces are parallel to the exhaust pipe, lower the Angle Braces so that
they are below the exhaust pipe.
Install the Gator Grommets
The Gator Grommetsare used to keep the Angle Braces as level as possible on the
case and to give the mount assembly a tight grip against the case. Use the diagrams in
Figures 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 to see how to install the Gator Grommetsbased on your
slope.
d. Once you know the slope of your generator case you will need to push the Gator
Grommets™ onto the Angle Brace in the correct configuration.
e. If you have a case that is straight up and down (Vertical case); install both Gator
Grommets™ so that the “thin” (fig 1.4) side will be facing the generator case. (fig
1.8)

Installing on Generators with High Exhausts
Some Inverters have an exhaust above the height of the electrical panel. In
this case, you must install the Angle Braces at different heights on the
exhaust side as compared to the electrical panel side, to ensure the exhaust
is venting out under the canopy. The result will be a sloped GenTent canopy.
