Lifting and Transporting
Lifting the Machine
This generator, while compact, is heavy enough to cause injury if
proper lifting techniques are not used. Observe the following
guidelines when lifting the generator.
•
Do not attempt to lift and carry the generator unassisted. Use
appropriate lifting equipment such as slings, chains, hooks,
ramps, or jacks.
•
Make sure lifting equipment is attached securely and has enough
weight-bearing capacity to lift or hold the generator safely.
•
Remain aware of the location of other people nearby when lifting
the generator.
Transporting the Machine
Observe the following guidelines when transporting the generator to
and from the job site.
•
Allow the engine to cool before transporting the generator.
•
Drain the fuel tank.
•
Close the fuel valve.
•
Ensure that the generator is securely strapped down in the
transport vehicle to prevent it from sliding or tipping.
•
Do not refuel the generator in or on the transport vehicle. Move
the generator to its operating location and then fill the fuel tank.
