Today I attached the generator to its platform. First, I asked my husband to pedal while I held the generator in place and aligned it with with the bicycle wheel in order to keep the belt perpendicular to the base board. Once I felt that the generator was aligned and there was a suitable amount of tension on the belt, I marked where the bolts needed to go. Then I pre-drilled the holes (highly recommended) and put in the 4 bolts as shown below.
