8. TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
The engine becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while
after stopping. Allow the engine to cool before transporting or storing
indoors.
Transporting
• When transporting the generator, turn the engine switch OFF and
keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or
spilled fuel may ignite.
• Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious
burns or fires. Let the engine cool before transporting or shorting
indoors.
• Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting.
Do not place heavy object on the generator.
• Load/unload the generator in a level place to avoid that the generator
slides/rolles down and in a place free from large stones which could
damage the generator.
• Use lifting eye when lifting the generator for transportation. Do not lift the
generator by the carrying handle(s).
• When transporting the generator on a track, tie a rope around the carrying
handles to secure the generator.
• On the wheel (optional parts) equipped model; block the wheels securely.
