TRANSPORTING
If the generator has been running, allow the engine to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the generator on the transport vehicle. A hot engine
and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Keep the generator level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage.
When using ropes or tie-down straps to secure the generator for transportation,
be sure to only use the frame bars as attachment points. Do not fasten ropes or
straps to any portions of the generator body or the folding handle.
When transporting the generator:
• Turn the switch to the OFF position.
• Do not operate the generator while it is on a vehicle. Take the generator off
the vehicle and use it in a well ventilated place.
• Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting the generator on a
vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high
temperature inside the vehicle could cause fuel to vaporize resulting in a
possible explosion.
• Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the generator on
board. If you must transport the generator on a rough road, drain the fuel
from the generator beforehand.
