Transporting/Storage - Honda HP400 Owner's Manual

10. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before
loading the power carrier on the transport vehicle or placing it in storage. A hot
engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position, and transport or store the power carrier
in a level position. This will prevent carburetor flooding and reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage.
Before storing the unit for an extended period;
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Drain the fuel.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
