9. Transportation and storage.
9.1 Generator transportation.
In order to avoid fuel spillage during transportation, always keep the gasoline valve
in the OFF position. Fasten the machine so it can't move.
NOTE:
Never place the machine on its side or facing down during
transportation, keep it in its natural working position at all times.
DANGER:
Never use the generator inside the transportation vehicle. The
generator should be used only in good ventilation conditions.
DANGER:
Do not leave you vehicle parked in the sun for too long while the
generator is inside. An excessive rise in temperatures could evaporate the
gasoline and form an explosive environment in the vehicle.
WARNING:
Do not overfill the tank if the equipment is going to be transported.
CAUTION:
Empty the fuel tank when the generator is transported on a bumpy
road or cross country.
9.2 Generator storage.
Gasoline loses its properties if stagnant for too long and it leaves residues that
may clog the carburetor, preventing startup after a temporary respite. If the group
is not being used temporarily (2-3 months or more), all the gasoline must be
extracted from the tank and carburetor.
1
With the help of a manual suction pump, extract the gasoline from the fuel tank
and store it in an appropriate container.
NOTE:
Do not use regular plastic bottles,
some plastics partially decompose when in
contact with the gasoline and contaminate it. This
contaminated gasoline may damage an engine if
reused.
DANGER:
Gasoline is explosive and
flammable. Never smoke or generate any type of
flame or flash while handling gasoline.
2
Place an appropriate container under the oil draining hole to collect the drained
gasoline.
