GENERATOR PREPARATION
FUEL OPTION B: LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) (CONT.)
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).
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
to the valve. Turn the plastic coupling from the hose right (clockwise) to
tighten hose assembly onto the LPG tank (Fig. 9).
3. Connect the opposite regulator connecting hose end to the genera-
tor’s LPG primary regulator with a 3/4 in. (19mm) wrench (not supplied)
(Fig. 10).
4. Turn the LPG tank valve ON (Fig. 11) and check for leaks by spraying
soapy water to check connections. If bubbles appear, become larger in
size, or increase in number, a leak exists. This must be corrected be-
fore 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.
