40065 Wheel Kit with Folding Handle and Never Flat Tires, for 2800-4750-Watt Generators, Black

I purchased a Champion Portable 4000 watt generator and quickly realized how difficult it was to move it around without any wheels. The mobility kit looked like a good option so I put one on order. The kit arrived on time and undamaged with all the necessary parts. It came with a decent set of instructions and took about 30 minutes to install using my own hand tools. Build Quality: The Mobility Kit is well made and comes with a substantial heavy duty axle and sufficiently beefy bolts and hardware to carry the weight and expected uses of a generator. Though the bolts are appropriately sized, they are made of softer steel and could be stripped or broken if over- tightened. As long as you don't try to tighten them gorilla tight you should be OK. If anything, this kit is a little overbuilt for a generator of this size and should last forever. The handle is sturdy and well designed to fold out of the way when not in use. The wheels are solid and are sized appropriately to roll over small obstacles and uneven ground. Installation: Installation was pretty easy though I got in a hurry and made a few mistakes. Later I learned that Champion has a very good Youtube installation video that walks you through the entire process. Here's a link you can paste into your browser to show you how easy it is. https://youtu.be/-byHx3I5myo Once I had the axle and wheels installed, I moved on to the the handle. Like the rest of the install, it helped to look at pictures to get it set up in the right position. The handle is well designed and moves up and down for transport and storage. I did have to read the directions a few times and lay out all the hardware to make sure I used all the bolts etc. in the right places. A wrench is supplied but I used my own sockets and combination wrenches. Installation requires tipping the generator on it's side and I used some wooden blocks to get if off the floor a bit and allow room for installing the axle and wheels. Setting the generator on it's side on a pickup tailgate or work bench would have the same effect but it requires 's a two-person lift to do that. It works better if the generator hasn't already been filled with gas and oil. I had already filled mine and took a chance by not draining it. Fortunately mine didn't leak but I did get a little puff of white / gray smoke when I started it which tells me that a little oil leaked into the cylinder. No problems and the smoke cleared in about 5 seconds. Function: Once the installation was complete I gave it a try and to my delight, it works really well. I can grab the handle and move the generator around almost effortlessly now. A smaller person can now move this 110 lb generator (actually closer to 125 lbs with gas, oil and the mobility kit installed) around without any trouble, especially on concrete. The wheels are big enough that I can move it relatively easily on grass as well. The tires are solid rubber so you don't have to worry about flat tires. That will make it much handier for use with an RV when I'm camping. Security: With wheels installed the generator would be even easier to steal now (yes unfortunately that does happen sometimes). During power outages or while camping this generator will be sitting outside next to the house or RV. Fortunately, the generator has a nice steel frame that I can use to secure it with steel cable or chain and a heavy duty lock. I highly recommend this kit. Actually, If I had it to do over, I would just buy the generator with the wheels already installed. After I purchased my generator I saw them on sale packaged with mobility kits (already installed) and a cover for the same price that I paid for the generator alone. All in all a very good mobility kit that was easy to install and use.

The wheels went on perfectly. The rubber supports took a minute to place, but went on without any issues. For some reason I misread the picture and thought the supports were small wheels to help balance the generator. Doh! The handle bar was the main quest. The picture provided "works" but it is a closeup so you can't tell what is what. (The picture for the rubber supports is also a closeup so trying to figure out the exact "where" takes time.) I put it on the way I thought it would go and nope. Then I reversed it, but then you'd have water getting in the brace. Nope. Saw a great YouTube video that set me on the correct path for the handlebar. As you can tell, this was not my first thought on how it goes on. The brace goes sideways facing the generator. It works and it's good. I haven't used it too much, just to push it around to test it. When we need a generator, this will be a great help in getting around. This was for a 4000 / 3500 watts portable generator. Model # 46596. For those of you who complain that it doesn't fit and you do not have a Champion generator, shame on you for posting 1 star reviews when it says right up front it is for Champion generators only.

Easy to install. Took me about 30 minutes. It fit my Champion 100216 with no troubles. The instructions don't mention having to remove the rubber vibration mount from the generator to mount the new support leg but other reviewer's already mentioned that you have to remove the old rubber vibration mount underneath before installing the new support, so thanks for the heads up! The instructions could have used better pictures, especially for mounting the handle. It took me a few tries to get the handle mounted correctly so it lays down in front of the generator to lift it up and let you pull it around easily. I also had mine full of gas & oil as we've had power outages just in the last few days, so I just used a floor jack to hold the generator up a couple of inches and mounted the support leg by slipping it onto the bottom without flipping it over or tipping it up on it's side with no problems. I used to have the generator on a piece of plywood with 4 little coaster wheels on it, but it was awkward at best to move due to its weight and size. It would always catch one of the little wheels on any uneven surface when I'd move it around. Now it's really easy to move with just it's two wheels on back. It is definitely worth the money and a little bit of time to install.

The wheels are easy to install, as well as the other items that come with the kit. This kit makes it so much easier to move the generator around!

Se compraron para instalar en un generador Champion 4375 W y le quedaron perfectas lo que facilita moverlo sin gran esfuerzo. Se ven sólidas y buena calidad.

Muy buen accesorio , funciona muy bien , costo colocar un poco las gomas de base . Pero fijan bien

Great purchase for my Champion generator that was purchased without wheels, conversion kit worked well other than 2 minor issues. 1. Came with a second handle that I could not have installed as I was not able to locate where it goes. 2. Bracket/support legs on the handle side was only able to be installed using one screw as the other screw hole was located under generator unit on frame. All in all, it works well!

The handle doesn't feel as secure as it could at the connection point on the frame....otherwise, it is a good product and it really does help when moving my very heavy generator... and everything fit correctly.( Champion 4000w camo edition)
