Wen DF875iX Instruction Manual page 13

WARNING! Do not turn on the generator until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your tool.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
• Never use the handle as a lifting point to support the entire weight of the generator. Only use the handle
to pull the generator with the help of the wheels.
• Use caution when collapsing the handle. Hands and fingers could get caught and pinched.
ASSEMBLY
Refer to the packing list to gather the proper parts and tools for installing the feet, wheels, and handles.
NOTE: There are different sizes of bolts/nuts; be sure to use the proper bolts/nuts for each assembly step.
REMOVING THE SHIPPING BRACKETS
1. Your generator comes with two red shipping brackets installed to help prevent shipping damage. Failure to re-
move these brackets can damage the engine. Make sure to remove these brackets BEFORE adding oil or gasoline.
2. Gently tip the generator onto its side. Use the included wrenches (or a socket set) to remove the nuts and bolts
that hold the shipping brackets to the bottom of the engine crankcase.
3. Once the shipping brackets are removed, they may be recycled. You will not need them.
INSTALLING THE FEET
The feet are installed on the muffler and air filter sides of the generator.
1. Prepare a set of blocks on level ground (a 4×4 block of wood works well). Place the generator on the blocks. Have
someone help you lift the generator.
2. Slide one foot into place on the generator frame and align the holes on the foot with the holes on the frame.
3. Slide the M6x40 bolts through the legs and generator frame. Tighten the M6 nuts onto the bolts using a wrench.
4. Repeat on the opposite side.
INSTALLING THE WHEELS
1. Remove the nuts from the axles.
2. Insert the thick side of the axle through the generator frame. Install and tighten the nut.
3. Slide the wheel onto the thin side of the axle. Install and tighten the nut.
NOTE: You can use a wrench on the hex shank of the axle to hold it steady when tightening the nuts.
INSTALLING THE HANDLE
1. Install the bracket on the top of the generator frame using the four M6x30 bolts. Tighten using a wrench.
2. Insert the handle pin through the bracket and handle. Secure it using the R-clip.
NOTE: Refer to the instructions on the following pages before starting your generator.
