TRANSPORTING
When transporting the generator, make sure that the fuel (gasoline) is
drained from the tank.
WARNING
To prevent fuel spillage due to the vibration and
impact, never transport the generator with fuel
(gasoline) in the tank. Secure the tank cap.
To avoid the risk of the gasoline ammability, never
leave the generator in an area exposed to direct
sunlight or high temperatures for a long period time.
Keep the fuel in an approved storage tank when transporting.
1. Turn the engine switch to the STOP position.
2. Drain the fuel from the tank.
3. Tighten the tank cap.
CAUTION
DO NOT place any heavy objects on the generator.
Select and place the generator in the proper position of the transport
vehicle so that the generator will not move or fall down. Secure the
generator if necessary.
PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your
generator for periods of 6 months or longer.
