9. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the
generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position, with the
engine switch OFF.
The fuel filler cap vent lever is turned fully counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Allow the engine to cool well before turning the fuel filler cap vent lever to the
OFF position.
When transporting the generator:
• Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
• 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.
NOTE:
To transport the generator, hold the holding part (shaded areas in the figure
below).
