3. Propane Hook-up
You can power this generator with gasoline or propane.
The generator is designed so that it is easy to switch
between fuel sources. However, there are special initial hook-up requirements for propane.
WARNING
Propane is a highly explosive gas. A qualified propane technician must make the
valve and hose connection between the propane tank and generator in accordance
with all federal and local requirements. All propane hook-ups should be completed by
a certified propane technician from a propane supplier and inspected as required by
your local building code.
This product is designed to operate at a propane pressure range of 7" to 11" of water column and requires
a minimum gas flow rate of 4.6 lbs./hr.
Note: All propane tanks produce gas pressure in excess of 11" water column. Introduction of gas pressure
into the generator in excess of 11" water column will permanently damage this product and void the
warranty. This generator includes a supply hose with a pressure-reducing regulator that needs to be
installed as part of your propane fuel system.
You will need a minimum 100 lb. propane tank to operate the generator.
Some installations may require tanks even larger than 100 lb. as a result of low surrounding air
temperature and other appliances drawing fuel from the same tank.
When transporting, always keep the propane tank in the upright position with the valve turned off. Always
position the propane tank to ensure that the supply hose between the propane tank and regulator does
not bend or kink.
WARNING
Contact with liquid contents of the propane tank will cause freeze burns on the skin.
