VIII. Transporting Your Engine
NEVER transport this engine inside
WARNING
another vehicle or in any enclosed
space if there is any gasoline in the tank. Fuel vapor or
spilled fuel may ignite leading to serious injury or death.
If there is fuel in the fuel tank, close the fuel shut-off valve,
if equipped, and transport the engine upright in an open
vehicle, such as an open trailer or open bed of a pickup
truck.
If you do not have an open vehicle and have to transport
the engine upright in a closed vehicle, follow these steps
for emptying the fuel tank before transporting:
1. Empty fuel tank by using a commercially available
suction device designed for use with gasoline.
To avoid severe injury or death,
WARNING
DO NOT pour fuel from engine or
siphon fuel by mouth.
2. Drain fuel into an approved red GASOLINE container,
being careful to avoid spilling.
3. Run the engine until remaining fuel is consumed.
NEVER leave the engine unattended
WARNING
when it is running and NEVER run
engine in enclosed areas to avoid death or serious injury.
