Observing  frost  on  LPG 

  and  regulators

is  common  during  operation  and  normally  is  not 

an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and 

travels  from  the  tank  to  the  generator  engine  it 

expands.  The  amount  of  frost  that  forms  can  be 

affected  by  the  size  of  the  cylinder,  the  amount 

of fuel being used, the humidity of the air and other 

operating  conditions.  In  unusual  situations  this 

frost  may  eventually  restrict  the  flow  of  LPG  gas 

cylinders

NOTE:

to  the  generator  resulting  in  deteriorating 

performance. For example, if the tank temperature 

is reduced to a very low level then the rate at which 

the  LPG  vaporizes  is  also  reduced  and  may  not 

provide  sufficient  fuel flow to the engine.  This is 

not an indication of a problem with the generator 

but only a problem with the flow of gas from the 

LPG  cylinder.  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:

The LPG cylinder can be temporarily warmed 

by pouring warm water over the top of the 

cylinder.

Exchanging fuel tanks to allow the first tank 

to warm up, repeating as necessary

Placing the LPG cylinder at the end of the 

generator near the handle, where engine fan 

air flows out from the generator. This air is 

slightly heated by flowing over the engine. 

DO NOT PLACE THE LPG CYLINDER IN THE PATH 

OF MUFFLER OUTLET.
