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 valve lever should be turned OFF.
When transporting the generator:
• Do not overfill the tank.
• 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 lift up the generator, hold the holding part (shaded areas in the figure
below) with your assistants.
According to EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 12601: 2010
Carrying the generating set is considered that a 140 kg set should be
provided with the means of carrying by 4 persons.
