Fuel:
Use clean, fresh HD-5 grade liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas) or equiva-
lent product consisting of at least 90% propane. Commercial liquefied petrole-
um gas fuels may contain more than 2.5% butane which can result in poor fuel
vaporization and poor engine starting in low ambient temperatures (below 32°
F / 0° C). Satisfactory performance on low-pressure LP-Gas models requires
that the LP-Gas vapor is supplied at a pressure within the range indicated in
Specifications.
WARNING: High LP-Gas supply pressure can cause gas
leaks that can lead to fire and severe personal injury or
death. Only trained and experienced personnel should
adjust the LP-Gas supply pressure.
Prior to the first start of the day perform a general inspection including oil
and coolant levels. Keep a maintenance log on number of hours in operation
since the last service. Perform any service or maintenance that may be due.
NOTE: Make sure the LP-Gas liquid primary shut-off valve
is on for LP-Gas generators.
Before Starting the Generator:
• People and animals must be clear of hazards of electrical shock and
moving parts.
• All appliances and other large AC electrical loads must be off.
Push and hold control switch in START position until the generator starts.
Release switch. On diesel models the control switch may flash up to 15
seconds, indicating engine preheat.
WARNING: Excessive cranking can overheat and damage
the starter motor. Do not crank the engine more than 30
seconds at any one time. Wait at least two minutes before
resuming.
If the generator fails to start refer to the generator manufactur-
er's owner’s manual.
