Propane (LP) Storage
Check the local ordinances to determine if the RV may be placed in a garage. Generally, ordinances require
that LP systems be leak free, that the LP container not be filled beyond specified limits, that the LP container
shutoff valve be closed, and the RV not be parked near sources of heat or ignition.
LP leaks can lead to explosive accumulation in service pits, sumps or other below grade locations.
Comply with all local ordinances regarding the indoor storage of RV’s with LP engine fuel systems.
Returning the Generator to Service
1. Check the oil tag on the generator and change the oil if the viscosity indicated is not appropriate
for the temperatures expected. See Engine Oil Recommendations above.
2. Reconnect the starting battery (negative cable last). See Maintaining Battery and Battery
Connections.
3. Remove the plug (if used) from the exhaust tail pipe.
4. Change the air filter element if it is dirty. See Replacing the Air Filter Element.
5. Open the fuel supply valve (if equipped).
6. Inspect the generator. See Conducting General Inspections.
7. Start the generator. There may be smoke and rough operation for a few minutes until the engine
fogger burns off. If the engine doesn’t start, clean or replace the spark plug, which may have
been fouled by the fogger.
8. Push the AC power circuit breaker(s) on the front control panel to the “ON” position when the
generator is ready to power appliances.
Cleaning the Air Filter Element
In dusty environments, the air filter should be inspected and cleaned more frequently. To clean the air filter,
refer to Fig. 13.
1. Remove the engine service access door.
