Operation - Homelite HG5000 Série Manuel D'utilisation

 Raise the end of the generator opposite the recoil starter
high enough to gain access to the frame bottom; securely
position props underneath to support.
 Slide an axle through the hole in the frame as shown.
 Install a nut on the inside of the frame. Using a wrench,
hold the axle firmly while you securely tighten the nut.
 Slide a wheel over the axle.
 Insert a pin through the axle.
 Repeat the process on the other side to install second
wheel.
ATTACHING THE HANDLES
See Figure 6.
 Locate the following items:
2 bolts
2 nuts
2 handles
4 spacers
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors WILL KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon mon-
oxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If
you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.
 Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Us-
ing a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air.
 ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from
open windows, doors, and vents. These openings
can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak
into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or bat-
tery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator
has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a
doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
ASSEMBLy
 Insert a bolt through one of the handles. Insert the handle
through a spacer as shown.
 Insert the bolt through the hole in the frame from the
outside.
 Place a spacer over the bolt as shown.
 Install a nut over the end of the bolt and tighten securely.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to lift the unit by the handle assembly.
If it is necessary to lift the generator, always grasp by
the frame. Use proper lifting techniques to avoid back
injury.
