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. Move the fuel valve lever to the
OFF position.

When using ropes or tied owns traps 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.
