INSTALLING WHEEL KIT
The Craftsman Wheel Kit was designed to greatly
improve the portability of your generator.
• Place generator on level ground; drain all gas and
oil from the engine (see engine manual for correct
procedure).
• Place a 1” thick x 1’ square piece of wood on the
ground in front of the engine. With the help of
another person, tilt the generator and rest the
recoil starter on the wood. NOTE: This will
support the gasoline engine during assembly and
make assembly easier.
• Using two screws (8) and two lock nuts (9) install
the wheel bracket (5) on the bottom right side of
the engine support.
• a. Remove the locknut on the bottom of the
isolator.
b. Position wheel bracket onto the existing
screw, lining up holes in bracket with holes in
frame. Secure with the removed locknut.
c. Place screw (8) into second hole and secure
with locknut (9).
• Tap the axle cap (6) on the end of the axle (2),
without the hole, using a hammer.
• Slide one wheel (1) onto the axle with the ex-
tended hub pointed away from axle cap.
• Slide one axle spacer (3) down against the wheel
(1).
• Slide the axle (2) through the holes in the wheel
brackets (5).
• Install the second axle spacer (3) then the second
wheel (1) with the extended hub facing inward.
Drain gas and oil before
assembling the portability
kit. Failure to do so will cause damage to the
engine.
• Place the flat washer (7) against the wheel bushing
and slide the cotter pin (4) through the drilled hole
of the axle (2). Bend the cotter pin (4) to secure in
place.
• Tighten lock nuts on wheel brackets.
• Line up the handle brackets with the holes in the
frame near the receptacle end of the generator.
• Install hex screws (10) and lock nuts (9). Tighten
with a ½” wrench.
• With another person helping, carefully tilt the
generator to operating position.
• Install louvered heat deflector to the muffler using
four #8-32 HH screws. Orient heat deflector so the
vent openings are pointing toward the rear of the
engine.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage or possible hazards,
do not orient deflector in any other position.
• The portability kit is now ready for use.
