TRANSPORTING & STORAGE
When transporting generator:
•
Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
•
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.

If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high
temperatures inside the vehicle could cause fuel to vaporize,
resulting in a possible explosion.
•

you must transport the generator on a rough road, drain the fuel from the generator
beforehand.
•
Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting.
Do not place heavy objects on the generator.
