Important GenTent Usage Tips

Electrical Skirt Tips

- The optional clear vinyl skirts for the

GenTent 10k and the GenTent 20k

electrical skirts can be stacked together

for double height (Fig. 6-E) by

connecting the top of one skirt to the

bottom of the other skirt. Use this as

needed for the skirts to completely

cover the electrical outlets

Fig. 6-E

Note: The intent of the electrical skirt is to cover the electrical outlets in the front

and slightly around the sides. Do not cover other parts of your generator with the

electrical skirts, especially the exhaust area!

- You will notice that the left and ride side of the electrical skirt goes up at an

angle as compared to the main body of the skirt. Where the angle starts (about

6 inches from either side) corresponds to the corner of the GenTent. Press

either corner on first, then wrap that edge around and press firmly. Now press

the main skirt body over the electrical outlet to the other corner, then wrap that

edge around and press firmly in place.

Proper Door Sealing Tip

- GenTent now ships with the StormBracer™ door. This door wraps around the adjacent

sides of the GenTent much like the skirts, forming a brace against storms. Each time you

close the door, it must be pressed firmly back in place. If this is not done, holes may

exist between the pieces of Velcro® which can allow water to seep in.

- In practice, the best way to achieve this is to close the door, then follow this procedure:

o Align the door properly so that the side Velcro and lower Velcro are aligned as

closely as possible and are touching

o Then starting at the top corner of the door pinch canopy around the frame rods

and slide your hand to the bottom while pinching.

o Repeat on the other side

o Check the door sides to see if you can see any gaps in the Velcro sealing. Should

there be any gaps, repeat the pinching procedure.

Note: Pull the door down and connect the bottom Velcro first, then use the pinch

& slide technique above to secure the sides. The bottom edge should cover the

under flap stitching!
