Transporting and 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 cap vent lever is turned counter clockwise to the OFF position.
Allow the engine to cool well before turning the fuel cap vent lever to the
OFF position,
When transporting generator:
• Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
•
Do not operate 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.
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Drain the fuel.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
3. Completely drain the fuel from the tank. Open the fuel valve, start the
engine and operate it in the idle position until all remaining fuel is gone
and the engine stops automatically.
4. Discharge oil.
