3 Lifting and Transporting
Lifting the
machine
This generator, while compact, is heavy enough to cause injury if proper lifting
techniques are not used. Observe the following guidelines when lifting the
generator.
 Do not attempt to lift and carry the generator unassisted. Use appropriate lifting
equipment such as slings, chains, hooks, ramps, or jacks.
 Make sure lifting equipment is attached securely and has enough weight-
bearing capacity to lift or hold the generator safely.
 Remain aware of the location of other people nearby when lifting the generator.
Transporting
the machine
Observe the following guidelines when transporting the generator to and from the
job site.
 Allow the engine to cool before transporting the generator.
 Drain the fuel tank.
 Close the fuel valve.
 Ensure that the generator is securely strapped down in the transport vehicle to
prevent it from sliding or tipping.
 Do not refuel the generator in or on the transport vehicle. Move the generator to
its operating location and then fill the fuel tank.
