indication of a problem with the generator but only a problem with the flow of gas from the LPG(
with
Propane
) container. If generator performance seems to be deteriorating at the same time that ice
formation is observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then some actions may be taken to eliminate this
symptom. In these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce or eliminate the cold fuel system effects by
doing one of the following:
—
Exchanging fuel tanks to allow the first tank to warm up, repeating as necessary
—
Placing the LPG(
with Propane
) container at the end of the generator near the handle, where engine
tan air flows out from the generator. This air is slightly heated by flowing over the engine. The container
should not be placed in the path of the muffler outlet.
—
The container can be temporarily warmed by pouring warm water over the top of the tank.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in or turned on.
2. Let the generator run at no load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and
generator.
3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the”OFF” position if operating by gas.
4. Turn the LPG(
with Propane
) cylinder knob to the “CLOSE” or off position if operating by LPG(
with
Propane
).
5. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
6. Press the engine switch to the ”OFF” position.
7. Turn battery switch to the off Position.
Important:
Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the Engine Switch are in the OFF position when the
engine is not in use.
NOTE:
When turning off the generator after LPG(
with Propane
) operation, make sure the LPG(
with
Propane
) cylinder knob is in the fully closed position.
NOTE
: If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks or longer, please see the Storage section
for proper engine and fuel storage.
5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance.
WARNING:
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
WARNING
: Tampering with the factory set governor will void your warranty.
WARNING
: Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
NOTE:
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by
any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner. Correct any issue before operating the generator.
Engine Maintenance
To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground spark plug wire before performing any service.
Oil
Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil specification to select the proper grade of oil for your
operating environment.
1. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick.
2. Use pliers to slide the spring clamp down the oil drain hose and pull the hose off the plug bracket.
3. Point the hose into a drain pan and allow the oil to drain completely. Note: The hose end must be lower
than the engine base to allow the oil to drain.
4. Replace oil drain hose onto plug bracket and slide spring clamp back into position.
5. Add 0.6Lof oil and replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
6. Dispose of used oil at an approved waste management facility.
