TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE

TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR

To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, be sure to perform the following:

1. Tighten the fuel cap and turn the vacuum relief valve to “OFF”.

2. Set the engine switch to “OFF”.

3. Drain the fuel tank if possible.

4. Keep the generator upright. Never place the generator on its side or upside down - doing so will make it

difficult to start.

WARNING: Avoid direct sunlight inside a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for

many hours, the high temperature could cause the fuel to vaporize and result in a possible explosion.

STORING THE GENERATOR

Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing it. NEVER place any

type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.

Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator. We highly recommend running your
