Transportation

Leaving the pump in an enclosed space where temperatures can rise on a transport
vehicle may cause fuel to vaporize and possibly explode. Fire and explosions can cause
severe burns and/or death. To avoid leaking or vaporizing fuel, secure the pump in a
well ventilated area out of direct sunlight and other heat sources. Do not transport
the pump on rough roads unless the fuel has been drained beforehand.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
2. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF position.
3. To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, keep the pump upright on a level surface.
4. Secure pump with straps or tie downs to prevent tip over and damage from sliding.
NOTE: Do not operate the pump while it is on the transport vehicle.
