Transportation
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary
storage, the generating set should be secured upright in its
normal operating position, with the engine switch OFF. The fuel
valve lever should be turned OFF.
When transporting:
Do not overfill the tank. Do not operate the generating set
while it is on vehicle. Take the generating set off the vehicle
and use it in a well-ventilated place. Avoid a place exposed
to direct sunlight when putting the generating set on a
vehicle. If the generating set 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 generating set on board. If you must transport the
generating set on a rough road, drain the fuel from the
generating set beforehand.
