On my 2001 there is a bolt near the front of slide on each side of the bottom of the generator tray.  You need to disconnect the exhaust pipe as well.  I am not sure what the chassis kill switch is.

How far out do you need to get it? 
If only enough to do oil change/service pulling the 2 bolts like Roger said should do it.
On my 1999 I had to disconnect & plug the fuel line to pull it farther out to access the control box.  There is also a heavy rubber mat on the bottom that can be unbolted and removed to access the rear of the generator.  I did not have to unbolt the exhaust on mine to pull it out the additional 8" or so.

The quiet box generator does not have the rubber mat at the bottom and you have to unbolt the exhaust to pull it out very far.

On my 2001 I can do all of the service without moving the generator at all.  Probably the same on a 2002.  If you have to remove the generator completely then you will need some heavy lifting device (fork lift would be nice or a pallet jack)
