Transporting/Storage - Honda EM50is Owner's Manual

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.
CAUTION:
When you are to lift up your generator with your assistants by hands,
take care not to lift it up by holding the handle of the generator. Be
sure to lift up the generator by holding the holding part (shaded areas in
the figure below).
According to EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 12601: 2010
Carrying the generating set is considered that a 140 kg set should be
provided with the means of carrying by 4 persons.
