Transporting; Taking Care Of Unexpected Problems - Honda GXV160 Manual Del Propietário

TRANSPORTING

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the engine-powered equipment on the
transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you
and can ignite some materials.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility
of fuel leakage. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position (see
page 6 ).
