TRANSPORTING

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes
before loading the engine-powered equipment on the transport vehicle.
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. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position (see page 6).
