WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while
filling.
NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
–
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–
These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or
a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. The
compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor
and cause damage to the engine and/or potential
hazards.
–
If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
–
Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or
improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by
manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
Connecting an LPG cylinder
1. Make sure the fuel select dial is in the “ENGINE STOP”
position.
2. Remove the rubber protective plug from the female
connector of the LPG hose.
3. Pull and hold the outer collar of the female connector and
insert it over the male connector. Release outer collar. Pull
on the hose to make sure it’s connected to the generator.
4. Connect the other end of the LPG hose to the LPG cylinder
valve and hand tighten.
5. Open valve on LPG cylinder and check all connections
for leaks by wetting the fittings with a solution of soap
and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles which grow
indicate that a leak exists. If a leak exists at a fitting then
turn off the valve on the cylinder and tighten the fitting.
Turn the valve back on and recheck the fitting with the
soap and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak
is not at a fitting then do not use the generator and contact
customer service.
NOTICE
–
The LPG hose included with this unit connects to 20, 30,
and 40 pound LPG cylinders.
–
Verify the requalification date on the cylinder has not
expired.
–
Always position the cylinder so the connection between
the cylinder valve and generator inlet won’t cause sharp
bends or kinks in the LPG hose.
CAUTION
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the LPG cylinder
or hose connections.
CAUTION
Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an OPD
(overfilling prevention device) valve. Always keep the
cylinder in a vertical position with the valve on top and
installed at ground level on a flat surface. Cylinders must
not be installed near any heat source and should not be
exposed to sun, rain, and dust. When transporting and
storing, turn off the cylinder valve and disconnect cylinder
from the generator. Plug the outlet, usually by a plastic
protective cap, if one is available. Keep cylinders away from
heat and ventilated when in a vehicle.
