Never use a gas container, LPG connector
hose, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that
is damaged or appears damaged.
The LPG cylinder valve should be fully closed
when the generator is not in use or is running
with gasoline.
•
•
The regulator/hose assembly and cylinder
valve must be inspected before each use for
leaks or sign of damages.
Use only 20 or 30 lb capacity cylinders with
Type 1, right hand Acme threads with this
generator. Verify the re-qualification date
on the tank has not expired. Do not use rusted
or damaged cylinders.
All new cylinders must be purged of air and
moisture prior to filling. Used cylinders that
have not been plugged or kept closed must
also be purged. The purging process should
be done by your propane gas supplier.
Do not connect or disconnect the LPG cylinder
in enclosed area.
Do not install or replace the LPG cylinder near
open flames, pilot lights, or sparking electrical
equipment such as power tools, welders and
grinders.
Attach the LPG regulator/hose assembly
(included) to the LPG hose connector (inlet)
on the control panel of the generator. Tighten
the nut with 19 mm or adjustable wrench.
Remove the safety plug or cap from the
cylinder valve.
Attach the other end of the LPG regulator/hose
assembly to the cylinder valve. Tighten the nut
by hand clockwise to a positive stop. Do not
use a wrench to tighten. Use of wrench may
damage quick closing coupling nut and result
in a hazardous condition.
Do not use tape or any type sealant to seal the
LPG hose connections.
Always position the cylinder so the connection
between the valve and the regulator won’t cause
bends or kinks in the hose.
Spray a soapy water solution (one part liquid
detergent and one part water) to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to
use generator. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
A leak exists if bubbles appear or grow larger
in size or number. This must be corrected before
using the generator. Contact your local
Authorized Service Facility for assistance. Do
not attempt to make repairs yourself.
Do not check for leaks with a lighted match or flame.
Do not light or smoke cigarettes.
Check the fuel system periodically for leaks
or signs of damages.
LPG under pressure is highly flammable and
can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.

spaces and low places in the event of a leak.
LPG has a distinctive odor to help detect
potential leaks.
•
•
Do not allow children to tamper or play with
the LPG cylinder.
•
If you smell gas: close off the gas supply. Spray
a soapy water solution to check all connections
for leaks before attempting to use generator.
