Product Manual

A battery may lose some charge when not in use for prolonged periods of
time. If the battery is unable to crank the engine, plug in the 12V charger
supplied. See Charging a Battery section for more details.
If oil was inserted into the cylinder prior to storage, the exhaust may
smoke for a short while after starting the generator. This is normal and will
cease within a minute or so of running time.
TRANSPORTING
If the generator has been used, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes
before loading the generator on the transport vehicle.
A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some
material.
Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting.
Do not place heavy objects on the generator. When transporting the
generator, turn the engine switch and the fuel valve lever OFF and keep
the generator level to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
