TRANSPORTING
If the generator has been running, allow the engine to cool for at least
15 minutes before loading the generator on the transport vehicle. A hot
engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some
materials.
Keep the generator level when transporting to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage.
When using ropes or tie-down straps to secure the generator for
transportation, be sure to only use the frame bars as attachment
points. Do not fasten ropes or straps to any portions of the generator
body or the folding handle.
When transporting the generator:
• Turn the switch to the OFF position.
• 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.
