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 filler cap vent lever is turned fully counterclockwise to the OFF
position.
Allow the engine to cool well before turning the fuel filler 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.
NOTE:
To transport the generator, hold the holding part (shaded areas in the
figure below).
