GENERATOR PREPARATION
FUEL OPTION B: LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) - CONTINUED
To connect your generator to an LPG cylinder:
1. Take off the safety caps from the cylinder valve, generator
mounted regulator, and regulator connecting hose ends.
2. With the LPG tank closed, attach the LPG regulator connecting
hose into the valve. Turn the plastic coupling from the hose right
(clockwise) to tighten hose assembly onto the LPG tank (Fig. 7).
3. Connect the opposite regulator connecting hose end to the gen-
erator’s LPG primary regulator with a 3/4 in. (19mm) wrench (not
supplied) (Fig. 8).
4. Turn the LPG tank valve ON (Fig. 9) and check for leaks by spray-
ing soapy water to check connections. If bubbles appear, become
larger in size, or increase in number, a leak exists. This MUST be
corrected before using generator. Contact your local Independent
Authorized Service Dealer (IASD) for assistance.
NOTE:
You can use Teflon (or other tape) to secure the connection
of the LPG hose to your generator.
CAUTION:
Always position the LPG cylinder so the connection
between the valve and regulator won’t cause sharp bends or
kinks in hose.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
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.
