line up bolt holes.
4. Attach handle to each bracket using 40 mm flange-
head hex bolt and 10 mm flange serrated nut to hole

nuts further.

down on handle until it rests vertically against genera-
tor frame.
• To return handles to horizontal position, pull up on
handle and lock with pins.

Hands and fingers can be pinched from collapsible
handles.
• Keep hands and fingers clear from hinges when
collapsing generator handles.
• Handles should only be used to roll the generator to a
new location. If lifting the generator (i.e. into a vehicle),
never use the handles to support the complete weight
of the generator.
