Some important tips to keep in mind:
Important: The center connector must be installed with the pin facing upward. The pin keeps the top cap from collapsing and the center connector is reinforced in this direction
Important: The strap must located below the electrical outlets. The bottom edge of the canopy will be about 9" above the Extender arms. On large inverters over 3000W, it is preferable that the bottom edge be at or slightly lower than the top of the unit. On small inverters this is not as important because the canopy is significantly longer and wider than the inverter case
Never mount the straps so that they block the exhaust. This can damage the GenTent and damage your generator and is a reason to void the warranty.
Always be sure that the canopy doesn't block the natural flow of the exhaust. In some cases (like the Honda EU3000is), the exhaust is mounted at the top corner and the outlets are mounted lower. In this case the mounted GenTent will be sloped (the extender arms will be lower at the outlets and higher at the exhaust). This is as expected and the GenTent will perform properly in this configuratoin
