ASSEMBLY 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 recoil starter.  Locate the following items: 2 bolts (M10 x 17 mm) 2 spacers (.38 ID) 2 wheels 2 lock nuts (M10) 2 wheel covers  Raise the end of the generator where the recoil starter is located high enough to gain access to the frame bottom; securely position props underneath to support.  Insert a wheel spacer into the center of the wheel.  Slide bolt through the wheel spacer, then through the wheel bracket on the frame, with the offset side of the wheel hub against the wheel bracket.  Install nut on bolt and tighten securely.  Install wheel cover.  Repeat the process on the other side to install second wheel. ATTACHING THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY See Figure 6.  Locate the following items: Bolt (M8 x 40 mm) Handle Assembly Lock Nut (M8)  Place the handle on the handle bracket, located on the generator frame on the side opposite the recoil starter.  Slide the M8 x 40 mm bolt through the handle and handle bracket; install nut and tighten securely. SECURING THE HANDLE See Figures 7 - 8.  Locate the following items: Handle lock pin Lanyard  Attach the lanyard to the handle lock pin and the handle as shown.  Insert the pin through the hole in the handle and the generator frame to secure handle in place. WARNING: 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. OPERATION DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors WILL CAN 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. Page 12 - English

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 recoil starter.
Locate the following items:
2 bolts (M10 x 17 mm)
2 spacers (.38 ID)
2 wheels
2 lock nuts (M10)
2 wheel covers
Raise the end of the generator where the recoil starter is
located high enough to gain access to the frame bottom;
securely position props underneath to support.
Insert a wheel spacer into the center of the wheel.
Slide bolt through the wheel spacer, then through the
wheel bracket on the frame, with the offset side of the
wheel hub against the wheel bracket.
Install nut on bolt and tighten securely.
Install wheel cover.
Repeat the process on the other side to install second
wheel.
ATTACHING THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6.
Locate the following items:
Bolt (M8 x 40 mm)
Handle Assembly
Lock Nut (M8)
Place the handle on the handle bracket, located on the
generator frame on the side opposite the recoil starter.
Slide the M8 x 40 mm bolt through the handle and handle
bracket; install nut and tighten securely.
SECURING THE HANDLE
See Figures 7 - 8.
Locate the following items:
Handle lock pin
Lanyard
Attach the lanyard to the handle lock pin and the handle
as shown.
Insert the pin through the hole in the handle and the
generator frame to secure handle in place.
WARNING:
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.
OPERATION
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide.
Using a generator indoors WILL CAN 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 doc-
tor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
