It doesn't quite work, January 11, 2008
This review is from: Blue Max GENWK4 Wheel Kit For GEN4000B Generator (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased the wheel kit that was supposed to be for the "4000 Watt Generator" but it has some problems.
First of all, the instructions that come with it for assembly are a very poor English translation from Chinese. They are unreadable, make no sense, and therefore useless. Second of all, there was no inventory of parts that matched the parts included in the kit...and you had to try to figure out which bolts and nuts were supposed to go where on your own. Thirdly, several pieces of the hardware were missing. Fourthly, the U-bolts weren't long enough to extend far enough around the braces to attach the shackles, and therefore you had to bend the shackles in order to attach them with the nuts provided. The U-bolt threads had a heavy coat of paint on them, and the nuts wouldn't thread without using a wire brush to scour the threads free of the paint.
and Fifth...the handle wasn't designed for the frame of the generator, and so attaching it randomly leaves an awkward solution to moving it.
Other than those problems, with about two hours of re-engineering and improvising...it's possible to have wheels on the generator with that kit...and a few spare pieces of hardware you might have around your shop.

Doesn't fit ETQ PG30P11, July 20, 2010
This review is from: Blue Max GENWK4 Wheel Kit For GEN4000B Generator (Lawn & Patio)
This was shown as what people bought for the ETQ PG30P11 generator. I guess those people were just as misled as I was. This kit doesn't fit! The screw holes are too small, the axle is on the wrong side, and so on and on and on.... And the instructions (in Chinglish)are worse than useless. The components looked to be of reasonable quality, tho useless.
I just ordered (2010 July 20)a wheel kit directly from ETQ for $29.95 + shipping ($5-$10). We'll see how that works and let you know.

Easy installation!, November 17, 2008
This review is from: Blue Max GENWK4 Wheel Kit For GEN4000B Generator (Lawn & Patio)
I read a lot of negative comments before I purchased the wheel kit about installation woes. If you have a little mechanical ability and some clamps this was a fairly simple assembly (20 Min.)The only thing I didn't like were the poor instructions and the handle clamping mechanism started slipping the first time I pull it around over rough terrain. I have to re-tighten the bolts and quite possibly weld it permenantly in place. Otherwise a good product for the price.
