IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY

Please review these important safety warnings:

WARNING:

NEVER block or cover the generator exhaust muffler in any way. If the exhaust blows

directly on the GenTent canopy, it is installed incorrectly.

WARNING:

NEVER use the GenTent on a generator whose muffler is openly exposed at the top of

the generator. These generators are disqualified and VOID the WARRANTY of the

GenTent.

WARNING:

NEVER use the GenTent on a generator on a moving vehicle or trailer.

WARNING:

ALWAYS shut generator off before any fueling or maintenance procedures.

WARNING:

NEVER position the GenTent refueling door on the same side of the generator as the

exhaust muffler. Spilled gasoline can result in fire. Always use a funnel while refueling.

CAUTION:

DO NOT pull on the GenTent top cap open corners.

CAUTION:

ALWAYS grasp frame rods firmly during installation to avoid the whipping motion that

can occur if a bent frame rod is mistakenly released.

CAUTION:

AVOID using your portable generator in forecast winds above 70mph.

IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES

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 significant 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.

1. Adapt the Frame (if needed)

“Assemble and Install the GenTent Clamps”on Page 7

If you purchased the 20K GenTent for Generac generators reference “Generac 15k/17.5k

Addendum” on Page 14

Generators Which May Require Frame Adapter Installation

-Generators with square tube frame posts.

-Small generators with a frame perimeter

between 76” & 80” inches when using

the 10K canopy OR between 106”-111”

when using the 20K canopy.

-Generators with muffler heat shield

attached to the frame.

-Generators with panels or crossbars

that blocks the GenTent clamp from

directly connecting to the vertical

frame posts.

Adapting the Frame

a. Place the top screw hole slot of the GTU (Fig. 1.2) either 9 inches

below where the gas tank meets the frame, OR ½ an inch above

the bottom of the lowest electrical outlet, whichever location is

lower on the generator frame.

b. With the GTU in the desired position, mark the generator frame

centered inside one of the top screw hole slot on the GTU. Then

mark the center of the screw hole

slot diagonally across from the first.

(Fig. 1.2)

Fig. 1.1

NOTE

A drill and a 5/32” bit will be required

NOTE

Zip ties can be used for temporary mounting of the

GTU in order to mark the correct mounting location.

NOTE

Select top left/bottom right or top right/bottom

left based on which gives the most clearance

for the drill and screw operations.

Fig. 1.2

NOTE

Not all frame adaptions will require the use

of all 4 GTUs adapters

c. Using a 5/32” drill bit, drill one hole centered on each of the marks made on the

generator frame. (Fig. 1.2)

d. Using the provided sheet metal screws and a 5/16” nut driver, or flat head

screwdriver attach the GTUs to the frame of the generator securely. (Fig. 1.3)

Installing GenTent Clamp onto GTU Adapter

e. Once the GTU adapters have been installed, install the rubber sleeve and GenTent

clamps by following the process described in section 2. “Assemble and Install the

GenTent Clamps”

f. Figure 1.3 Shows the GTU installed to a square tube frame with the rubber sleeve

installed with the mouth of the sleeve facing away from the generator.

g. Figure 1.4 shows the GenTent Clamp installed onto the GTU.

2. Assemble and Install the GenTent Clamps

Assemble Clamp Parts (Fig 2.1)

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 for step h. “Install

clamp on generator frame”.

Set Rod Adjustment Pin

e. Use the Easy Adjustment Guide to reference the appropriate clamp setting for your

GenTent.

f. 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.

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

Adjustment Guide to determine the pin set number. Adjust the

telescoping rod to the appropriate hole and install the molded ring

pin to secure. (Fig 2.2)

GenTent Clamp Settings

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. Position the top edge of the rubber sleeve at the lower of the

following positions: Or onto the pre-installed GTU adapter.

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

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

Fig. 2.2

Page: 10 of 20

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

sleeve so the opening faces away from the generator. (Fig. 2.3 or 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. 2.4) Then

slide clamp up and over the rubber sleeve. (Fig. 2.5) This allows you to install the

clamp without pulling the clamp mouth open.

1. When installing onto a GTU adapter you will need to loosen the GenTent clamp

hardware and push the clamp directly onto the rubber sleeve. (Fig 1.4)

k. Position clamp diagonally from generator frame typically at 45 degrees.

l. Tighten the clamp knob, this usually requires 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 frame, the clamping

strength has been reduced and the knob should be loosened.
