Once properly installed, the handles can be collapsed, if desired, by removing the pins.
CAUTION
Hands and fingers can be pinched from collapsible handles.
•Keep hands and fingers clear from hinges when collapsing generator handles.
•Handles should only be used to roll the generator to a new location. If lifting the generator (i.e. into a vehicle), never use the handles to support the complete weight of the generator.
•To collapse handles, remove pins and push firmly down on handle until it rests vertically against genera- tor frame.
•To return handles to horizontal position, pull up on handle and lock with pins.
