GENERATOR PREPARATION
DANGER:
EXPLOSION AND FIRE. LP vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Do not use or
store LP cylinder in a building, garage or enclosed area. Failure to do so will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING:
EXPLOSION AND FIRE. The cylinder valve should be turned OFF (closed) when generator
is not in use. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
• Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
• When transporting and storing, keep cylinder secured in an upright position with cylinder valve turned
off. Keep cylinders ventilated and away from heat when in a vehicle.
• Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is highly flammable and explosive. Flammable gas under pressure can
cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
• In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve is turned
OFF. If a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.
• RISK OF BURNS. Contact with liquid contents of cylinder will cause freeze burns to the skin. If liquid
contents contacts skin or eyes, seek immediate medical attention.
• When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder valve is of the same type.
WARNING:
If using gasoline,
the LPG tank must be shut OFF. If using LPG, the fuel valve on the
generator must be turned to OFF position.
FUEL OPTION B: LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)
NOTE:
LPG regulator inlet pressure is approximately 30 PSI at 0 °F, and 218 PSI at 100 °F.
• You can use LPG tanks with Type 1, right hand Acme threads with this generator. Verify that the qualification
date on 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 the propane gas supplier. (Cylinders from an exchange supplier
should have been purged and properly filled by supplier).
