Transporting - Honda FR650 Owner's Manual

7. TRANSPORTING
The engine and exhaust system become hot during operation and
remain hot for a while after stopping. Contact with hot engine compo-
nents can cause burns and can ignite some materials.
Avoid touching the engine or exhaust system for at least 15 minutes after the
engine has stopped. Allow the engine to cool before transporting the tiller.
Before Loading
Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF
position. This will prevent the possibil-
ity of carburetor flooding and will re-
duce the possibility of fuel leakage.

Loading/Unloading
To reduce the possibility of fuel leakage, keep the tiller level while transporting,
and avoid tilting the tiller excessively when loading and unloading.
l
If a suitable loading ramp is not available, two people should lift the tiller on
and off the vehicle, while holding the tiller level.
l
Position the tiller so the tines and wheels are on the bed of the vehicle. Tie
the tiller down with rope or straps, and block the wheels. Keep the tie-down
rope or straps away from controls, cables, governor linkage, carburetor,
and the fuel line.
