Installing the Extender Arms.

Installing the GenTent Frame Rods and Center Connector.

Ensure frame rods are fully seated in the center connector to prevent tension-related damage or failure. See proper rod installation tips here .

Installing the GenTent Canopy and Aprons.

Always position the GenTent refuel door on the side farthest from the exhaust to reduce the risk of igniting spilled fuel. Learn how to identify the safe refueling side for your model .
Some inverter generators feature a high-mounted exhaust — above the height of the electrical panel (e.g., Honda EU3000iS). In these cases, you must install the Angle Braces at different heights on the exhaust side versus the electrical panel side to ensure the exhaust vents beneath the canopy. This setup results in a sloped GenTent canopy. Click here to learn more about high exhaust setups .
