There's a bit of winter weather headed here, finally, or again depending on how you look at it. So I figured I'd take the generator out of the box and put the wheels on it. Now the basement/man cave/radio room smells like a Tractor Supply Co. store. It sort of gives that little testosterone rush when you go down there. Hmm, that and a little snow...
The kit goes on in about 20 minutes. Way better to install it BEFORE adding oil and gas to the generator as it needs to be tipped over on it's end to install the wheels.
The kit comes with a 12/14 mm wrench. You'll also need pliers. 12 mm socket/ratchet is even better. The instructions are reasonably clear but omit the fact there are little rubber feet on the generator that must be removed and there will be some hardware left over.
The helpful young man at TSC will tell you there is no oil in the new generator (correct) but the generator comes with oil in the crate. (wrong) You'll need some 10W30 engine oil.
Now that I'm prepped, it ain't gonna snow.
