2. If the generator is being removed from a trailer assembly, or was operated using the fuel tank assembly below
the generator, the following items must be disconnected, REFER to Figure 1:
• From the trailer: disconnect the trailer lighting harness at the plug coming from the generator.
• From the fuel tank: disconnect the hoses for the fuel tank vents (2), the fuel supply hose (1), the
fuel return hose (1), the fuel tank fill hose (1), the connector for the fuel lever sender (1), and the
connector for the fuel tank leak detection (1).
