Transportation
Leaving the generator in an enclosed space on the transport vehicle where temperatures
can rise may cause fuel to vaporize and possibly explode. Fire and explosions can cause
severe burns and/or death. To avoid leaking or vaporizing fuel, secure the generator in a
well ventilated area on the transport vehicle that is out of direct sunlight and other heat
sources and do not transport the generator on rough roads unless the fuel has been
drained beforehand.
1. Place the fuel valve to the OFF position (if equipped).
2. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF position.
3. To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, keep the generator upright on a level surface.
4. Secure generator with straps or tie downs to prevent tip over and damage from sliding.
NOTE: Do not operate the generator while it is on the transport vehicle.
