Please review these important safety warnings:

WARNING NEVER obstruct or cover the generator’s exhaust

mufer in any way. It is not installed correctly if the exhaust blows directly

on the GenTent canopy.

WARNING NEVER use the GenTent on a generator with a muf-

er that is openly exposed at the top of the generator. These generators

are ineligible and VOID the WARRANTY of the GenTent.

WARNING NEVER use the GenTent on a generator that is locat-

ed on a moving vehicle or trailer.

WARNING ALWAYS shut the generator off before fueling or per-

forming any maintenance procedures.

WARNING NEVER position the refueling door of the GenTent on

the same side of the generator as the exhaust mufer. A gasoline spill can

result in re. Always use a funnel for refueling.

CAUTION DO NOT pull on the open corners of the GenTent top

cap.

CAUTION ALWAYS hold frame rods securely during installation

to avoid the whipping motion that can occur if a bent frame rod is acciden-

tally released.

CAUTION AVOID using your portable generator in winds above

70mph.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY

4 |English

Please review these important operating notes:

NOTE: Should the GenTent cover block pull starter, release the elastic straps

on the pull starter side and temporarily lift GenTent canopy out of the way.

NOTE: When using GenTent during snowstorms, periodically brush away

any accumulation that blocks the top vent or surrounds the generator.

NOTE: The bottom trim of the canopy should align at or slightly below where

the fuel tank connects to the frame. This will prevent pooling water on the

fuel tank and potential drippage toward the outlets. The electrical apron

will cover down to the top of the clamp which should be positioned below

the lowest electrical outlet.

NOTE: Should generator handle cause signicant stretching of the elastic

straps when extended, release the elastics straps on the handle side of

the generator before deploying generator handles. Once the generator is

in the desired position, lower the handle, and refasten the elastic straps.

NOTICE

In some cases, adaptation of the portable generator frame is required

to create a proper mounting point for the GenTent clamps. Most

Westinghouse branded portable generators do not need adaptation.

Should you need to adapt your frame, adaption kits are available sep-

arately at 781-334-8368.

1. One corner needs to be adapted because:

1a. A mufer heat shield or other panel is connected to a frame

memberthatotherwise blocks theGenTentclampfromattaching

directly to the proper location.

2. Four corners need to be adapted because:

2a. The portable generator uses a square tubular frame that must

be adapted to the round openings of the GenTent clamps.

2b. The portable generator is a very small frame and requires length

and width extension (see ClampAdjustment tables on page 9).

2c. Certain small Westinghouse generators whose frame perimeter

(length and width not including wheels or handles) is between

68 in. (190.5 cm) and 80 in. (203.2 cm) fall into the small frame

category.

1. ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE GENTENT CLAMPS

To Assemble Clamp Parts (Fig. 1.1)

a. Slide telescoping clamp rod into clamp body, insert a molded ring pin

to hold the telescoping rod in place.

b. Push carriage bolt through one side of clamp and through the clamp

body.

c. Loosely install clamp knob onto carriage bolt. The knob can be installed

on either side of the clamp; whichever is the least obstructed by the

generator frame.

d. Retain rubber sleeve refer to step h “Install clamp on generator frame”.

Set Rod Adjustment Pin (Fig. 1.2)

e. Measure the length and width of your generator frame. Measure only the

outside edge of the vertical frame post to vertical frame post. DO NOT

include the measurement of wheels or handles.

f. Use the Easy Adjustment Guide to reference the appropriate clamp

setting for your GenTent (page 8).

g. Match the measured length and width of your generator to the Easy

Adjustment Guide to determine the pin set number. Adjust the telescop-

ing rod to the appropriate hole and install the molded ring pin to secure.

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: When installing frame rods for settings 2,3 & 4 the frame rod should

be put into the outermost hole. Setting 0 and 1 are the same clamp setting,

the frame rod hole for setting 0 is the inner one (closest to the generator) and

frame rod hole for setting 1 is the outer one (furthest from the generator).

Install Clamp on Generator Frame

h. Clamp direct to the generator’s vertical frame post and

position the top edge of the rubber sleeve at one of the

following positions:

1. 9” below where the gas tank meets the frame, or

2. 1/2” below the lowest electrical outlet (whichever

location is lower on the generator frame).

i. Slip rubber sleeve around the vertical frame post, turning

the rubber sleeve so the opening faces away from the

generator. (Fig. 1.3) Select installations

may not allow the rubber sleeve mouth face

outward, this is Ok.

j. Push clamp opening straight onto frame,

below the rubber sleeve. (Fig. 1.4) Then

slide clamp up and over the rubber sleeve.

(Fig.1.5)This allowsyou toinstall the clamp

without pulling the clamp mouth open.

k. Position clamp diagonally from generator

frame typically at 45 degrees.

l. Tightentheclamp knob, this usuallyrequires

only 2-3 full turns once you feel resistance

against the clamp body.

m. Repeat procedure on remaining three

sides: position clamps at the same height.

NOTE: Over-tightening the clamp knob

should be avoided. If you notice the mouth of

the clamp pulling away from the vertical frame

post, you have over-tightened, and the knob

should be loosened.

2. INSTALL THE GENTENT FRAME

FIG. 2.1

FIG. 2.3

FIG. 2.2

a. Orient the center connector with the

vent pin up and position the cen-

tral connector to match generator

alignment, short and long sides,

respectively.

b. Insert the rst frame rod into the center

connector, making sure it is seated all

the way into the connector. (Fig. 2.1).

Always insert the frame rod into the

center connector before inserting it

into the clamp.

c. Insert the other end of the frame rod

fully into the corresponding clamp hole

position. (Fig. 2.2)

CAUTION Always grasp

frame rods & center connector rmly

during installation to avoid the whip-

ping motion that can occur if a bent

berglass rod is mistakenly released.

d. Install the frame rods into the

center connector in a crisscross

pattern. Always be sure to grasp

the free end of the frame rod rmly.

Then bend the free end towards

the clamp and insert fully into the

correct hole.

e. Repeat for remaining frame rods.

f. Check the clamps; the frame rods

should be fully seated into the

clamps. (Fig. 2.3) The clamp may

exhibit a slight upward lean; this is

due to the force being applied to

the clamp by the berglass rods.
