TRANSPORTING/STORAGE

To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary
storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal
operating position, with the engine switch OFF.
The fuel cap vent lever is turned fully counterclockwise to the OFF
position.
Allow the engine to cool well before turning the fuel cap vent lever to
the OFF position.
When transporting the 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.
Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting the
generator on a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle
for many hours, high temperature inside the vehicle could cause
fuel to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion.
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the
generator on board. If you must transport the generator on a rough
road, drain the fuel from the generator beforehand.
To transport the generator, hold the holding part (shaded areas in the
figure below).
