2.5 SET SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC
OPERATION
Make sure the valves on both of the filled propane
cylinders are open.
At this time, plug the six foot sensing cord into a stan-
dard 120V household outlet. This will allow the
Power Transfer Monitor to sense the utility power
feed. Plug desired items into the SWITCHED GFCI
outlet on the Power Transfer Monitor. This outlet is
powered when utility power is available and when the
generator is operating during a utility power outage.
Place the generator main circuit breakers to their ON
or CLOSED position by pressing in the reset buttons.
The GREEN indicator stripe should no longer be evi-
dent.
Place the generator mode switch, which is located on
the generator control panel, in the AUTO position.
The system is now set for automatic operation.
2.6 HOW TO KEEP THE REGULATOR
OPERATING EFFICIENTLY &
SAFELY
The regulator is equipped with a vent which allows
the diaphragm to “breathe”. The diaphragm of the
regulator moves down and draws air into the bonnet
of adjustment spring housing. When the diaphragm
moves up, air is expelled through the vent. In the
event that excess pressure builds up in the lower
housing or body of the regulator, a relief mechanism
vents it to the atmosphere. It is imperative to check
the vent frequently to be sure it is clean and free of
water, corrosion or obstruction, as clogging is a
potential cause of regulator malfunction. Great care
has been taken in the manufacture of the regulator
and it has been thoroughly tested and UL listed.
However, even a small piece of dirt, corrosion, pipe
dope or other foreign material which finds its way
into the regulator can result in higher than normal
pressure (high lockup) and/or loss of fuel.
If the vent does become clogged it can easily be
cleaned with a toothbrush. In addition, the regulator
should be checked periodically by a competent LP
serviceman to be sure it is properly adjusted and in
safe working condition. By following these simple
precautions, the regulator should give you years of
trouble-free service.
2.7 WHAT IS REGULATOR FREEZE UP?
A regulator will not freeze, nor will LP gas under nor-
mal atmospheric conditions. However, as the gas
passes through the regulator it expands and cools
and moisture in the gas or in the regulator may turn
to ice. This ice can build up and totally or partially
block the orifice and thus partially or totally block
the fuel supply. There are a number of things that can
be done to prevent this type of freeze up.
1. Be sure the LP cylinder is totally free of moisture
before it is filled.
2. Be sure the cylinder is not over filled. This is par-
ticularly important if you have a permanently
mounted ASME tank.
3. Keep the valves on empty cylinders closed.
4. Have the LP gas dealer purge the cylinder if freeze
up occurs.
5. Have the LP gas dealer inject methyl alcohol in
the cylinder.
