20. Transport / Storage
In order to avoid the generator leaking oil during transport or temporary storage,
make sure to switch off the generator, keeping it at a standing pose under
normal operations. After the engine is totally cooled, turn the ventilating pole of
the fuel-filling lid to the "close" position thoroughly.
Warning
When transporting the generator:
Do not let the fuel spill out of the fuel tank. (The top of the fuel-filling tank should
have no fuel.)
When the generator is placed on vehicle, do not run the engine. You
should take the generator down from the car and operate it in the draught.
When you take the generator to the car, avoid exposing it to sunshine. If
it is put in sealed carriage for a long time, the high temperature of the carriage
may cause the fuel to boiling away, thus leads to burn.
The cars loaded with generator should not bump on the uneven roads
for a long time. If it has to travel on such roads, the fuel in the fuel tank should
be discharged thoroughly in advance.
Before the generator is put into a long-time storage, you should:
1 Make sure the storage area is clean and dry.
2 Discharge the fuel thoroughly.
Warning
Fuel is very easy to burn or explode under specific conditions.
Smoke and flame are strictly forbidden near the fuel.
F. Discharge the fuel in the fuel tank thoroughly into a proper container
G. Turn the switch of the engine to the "CLOSE" position. Dismantle the oil-
discharging screw (Fig.1) on the carburetor and discharge the fuel in it into
a proper container.
H. Screw down the oil-discharging screw on the lid of the spark plug. Pull the
starting hold for three or four times, and discharge the fuel from the oil-
