Always turn the ignition switch to the stop (O) position and make sure the fuel cap is securely tightened

No matter what the product you must turn the fuel valve to the off position before transporting

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 min before loading power equipment on the transport vehicle

If the fuel valve (TAP) is left on, bouncing during transportation causes fuel to slip past the needle and seat in the carburetor. This fuel could then travel into the intake port and cylinder causing problems such as hard starting, oil dilution and hydraulic lock

In most cases keeping your power equipment unit in its natural operation position (standing up) is best to prevent any spillage

To prevent your engine from accidentally starting, it is also preferable to remove the spark plug cap before transporting anywhere
