PREPARATION
The following section describes steps necessary to prepare the generator for use. If after reading this
section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call [phone] Mon-Fri 9-5
EST for customer service. Failure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its
life.
Step 1 - SETUP WHEEL KIT
WARNING: This generator is heavy. Assembly procedures may require lifting equipment or
two people.
ATTACH FRONT FOOT
To attach the feet to the generator, perform the following
steps:
1. Find a wooden block or a similarly sturdy item that is at
least three inches thick. Stack the end of the generator
with the recoil starter onto the wooden block.
2. Setup front foot as attached picture.
ATTACH WHEELS
To attach the wheels to the generator, perform
the following steps:
1. Rest the exhaust end of the generator on
the same wooden block used for attaching
the front foot.
2. Slide the wheel onto the axle.
3. Slide the wheel shaft with the cotter pin hole inward through the frame.
Secure using the cotter pin.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other wheel.
Step 2 - ADD OIL
The generator is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the
generator for the first time. The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 37 fl. oz. For general use (above
40° F), we recommend 30W, 4-stroke engine oil.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classifications
SJ, SL, or SM (synthetic oils may be used). Use the ASE viscosity grade of oil from the following chart
that matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil changes.
