7. TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE
Transporting the Generator
Do not overfill the fuel tank (No residual fuel on the neck of tank).
Do not use the generator in the vehicle. The generator should ONLY be
used while in a well ventilated area.
Avoid exposing the generator to prolonged direct sunlight while in an
enclosed vehicle. The high temperature inside the vehicle could cause
fuel to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion.
Drain the generator of fuel and oil before being transported on rough
roads.
Draining the Fuel Tank
1. Turn OFF the engine. Remove the fuel cap and the debris screen underneath
the fuel cap.
2. Empty the fuel tank using a siphon and an approved gasoline container.
