WARNING : WHEN USING THE GENERATOR WITH LPG, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO
POSSIBLE IGNITION SOURCE CLOSE TO THE GENERATOR.
1. Before using, make sure all of the LPG connectors and hoses are well connected and
sealed.
2. Connect electrical devices to the generator ONLY after the engine runs smoothly.
(There may be remnant gasoline in the carburetor; this can cause unsteady engine
performance for several minutes)
3. If the propane gas leaks, shut off the LPG supply first and then quickly unplug or turn
off any electrical devices powered by the unit.
4. When stopping the engine, unplug or turn off any electrical devices, turn off the Main
Circuit Breaker and then turn off the LPG Supply. After the engine has stopped turn
the Switch to the “OFF” position.
CAUTION : Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator before attempting to
start!
WARNING : Operating the starter motor for more than 5 seconds can damage the
motor. If the engine fails to start, wait 10 seconds before operating the starter
again.
