9. 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 valve lever should be turned OFF.
When transporting the generator:
• Do not overfill the tank.
• 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 lift up the generator, hold the holding part (shaded areas in the figure below)
with your assistants.
According to EUROPEAN STANDARD EN ISO 8528-13
Carrying the generating set is considered that a 140 kg set should be provided with
the means of carrying by 4 persons.
