100396 - 3400W DUAL FUEL ELECTRIC START INVERTER GENERATOR
ASSEMbLY
17
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the pump.
Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline to the
generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while
filling.
NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blended gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
–
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–
These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into
the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or
create potential hazards.
–
If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
–
Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended
gasoline higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored
gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
DANGER
NEVER place the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) connector hose
OR LPG cylinder tank in the path of the muffler exhaust gas
stream of the generator during engine operation.
Connecting an LPG cylinder
1. Make sure the fuel selector switch on the inverter is in the 12
o’clock (vertical) position. (A)
2. Using your fingers, slide the outer barrel back on the LPG
quick connect hose fitting (B).
3. While the outer barrel is in the back position, insert the LPG
hose (included) into the inlet and release the outer barrel. The
barrel will automatically return and lock the hose in the inlet.
4. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder valve.
5. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG cylinder and hand
tighten.
6. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a
solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles
which grow indicate that a leak exists. If a leak exists at a
fitting then turn off the gas valve at the tank and tighten the
fitting. Turn the gas back on and recheck the fitting with the
soap and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak
is not at a fitting then do not use the generator and contact
customer service.
