OPERATION
TRANSPORTING
Weight hazard. Always have assistance when lifting the
generator.
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before transporting.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Only use the generator's fixed handle(s) to lift the unit
or attach any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down
straps. Do not attempt to lift or secure the generator by
holding onto any of its other components.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the
possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel
or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before
transport.
• The generator wheels are only intended for hand
transport. The wheels are not suitable for towing the
generator either on or off-road.

CAUTION
• Use the extendable handle for one-person, hand
transport. To deploy the handle, push on the locking
button and pull on the handle until it's fully extended.
To stow it, push on the locking button and push on the
handle until it's fully retracted. Only extend or retract
the handle while the generator is OFF, stationary,
and resting on a horizontal surface. Do not use the
extendable handle to lift the generator entirely off the
ground, tow it, or up-end it.
Fire hazard. Do not fully up-end the
generator. Fuel or oil can leak and
damage to the generator may occur.
