2.4 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.
2.5 Wheel Brakes (if equipped)
Description The two rear wheels on your generator (if equipped) feature spring-operated
brakes (g) . These brakes help to prevent the generator from unintentional
movement. Lock both rear wheels after the generator has been placed in its
operating position.
Locking and
unlocking the
wheels
 To lock the wheel, press the brake tab (g1) until the brake snaps in place
against the wheel.
 To unlock the wheel, lift the brake tab.
