CHANGING FUELS
1. Before changing the fuel source, make sure the generator is turned off or running under half-load. Do not change
fuel when generator is over half-load.
2. If switching from LPG to gasoline, turn off the LPG tank valve and disconnect LPG fuel tank from generator. Then
turn ON the fuel valve.
If switching from gasoline to LPG, turn off the fuel valve. Then follow the LPG connecting procedure in section
“FUEL OPTION B: Liquid petroleum gas (LPG)”.
3. Check the fuel level of the selected fuel and make sure there is an adequate amount.
4. Turn the fuel selection dial to the desired fuel; turn the dial up to the 12 o’clock position for gasoline and down
to the 6 o’clock position for LPG.
TO STOP THE GENERATOR
1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from the generator. Unplugging running devices can cause
damage to the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
CAUTION:
Allowing gasoline to sit in the fuel tank for long periods of time can make it difficult to start the gen-
erator in the future. Never store the generator for extended periods of time (over 2 months) with fuel in the fuel
tank. Refer to “Storing the Generator”.
3a. If using
LPG
, make sure the fuel valve is off, turn
the fuel selection dial to gasoline position (12 o’clock)
and flip the engine switch to the OFF position. This is
the final step.
3b. If using
gasoline
, turn the fuel valve to the OFF
(horizontal) position. Let the generator run until the
fuel is used up. Continue on to step 4.
4. Flip the engine switch to the OFF position.
5. Drain the carburetor (See “Draining the Carbure-
tor”).
IMPORTANT:
Always ensure that the fuel valve
and the engine switch are in the OFF position
when the generator is not in use.
