3.10 Transport
Let the engine cool before transporting the generator or storing it
indoors, to avoid burns or fire hazards.
When transporting the generator:
3.10.1
Turn the engine fuel valve to the OFF position.
3.10.2
Position the generator level to prevent fuel from spilling.
3.10.3
Secure the generator by tying it down with a suitable rope.
When transporting the machine by hand, be sure to employ manpower
commensurate with the weight of the machine. To avoid back injury
when lifting the machine, bend the knees to pick it up rather than
bending your back only.
