TRANSPORTAION AND STORAGE
Make sure there is no breakage of guard
frame and anti-vibration rubber nor loos-
ened or missing bolts.
Always stop the engine when lifting.
Use an intact wire rope without any defor-
mation with sufficient strength.
Slowly lift upward without applying any
impact. Never let people or animals go
under the lifted machine.
For safety reasons, do not lift to a height
that is higher than necessary.
Use a crane for loading and unloading the
machine.
Designate a person to guide the loading and
unloading, and always work under the
instruction of that person.
When lifting, always use a hook. (Fig. 22)
Never lift by using the hook on the handle.
Stop the engine when the machine is trans-
ported.
Always drain the fuel before transportation.
Fix the machine securely to prevent the ma-
chine from moving or falling.
When putting the handle into the stored
condition (vertical condition), make sure it is
properly locked.
When transporting, remove the starter key.
Wash off dirt and soil from every part with
water. While washing, be careful not to let
the water splashed on the electric compo-
nents such as the battery and the engine
muffler part.

drain the fuel from the fuel tank, and either
disconnect the battery terminal or remove
the battery itself.
When the machine is used after a long stor-
age period, check the level of engine oil and
