Engine Manual 19
WARNING
Transport only when engine is cool. 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. Position the fuel valve lever (if equipped) to
the OFF position. Secure the equipment to prevent movement during transporting
to prevent potential injury and damage to the engine.
WARNING
NEVER transport this engine inside another vehicle or in any enclosed space if
there is any gasoline in the tank. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite leading to
serious injury or death. If there is fuel in the fuel tank, close the fuel shut-off valve,
if equipped, and transport the engine upright in an open vehicle, such as an open
trailer or open bed of a pickup truck.
If you DO NOT have an open vehicle and have to transport the engine upright in a
closed vehicle, follow these steps for emptying the fuel tank before transporting:
1. Empty fuel tank by using a commercially available suction device designed for use
with gasoline.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, DO NOT pour fuel from engine or siphon fuel by
mouth.
2. Drain fuel into an approved red GASOLINE container, being careful to avoid spilling.
3. Run the engine until remaining fuel is consumed.
WARNING
NEVER leave the engine unattended when it is running and NEVER run engine in
enclosed areas to avoid death or serious injury.
