NOTE
— Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LP tanks with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
— Verify the requalification date on the tank has not expired.
— 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 a LPG supplier. (Cylinders from an exchange supplier
should have been purged and filled properly already).
— Always position the cylinder so the connection between the valve and the gas inlet won’t cause
sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
CAUTION:
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the cylinder or hose connections.
CAUTION:
Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an OPD (overfilling prevention device) valve. Always keep
the cylinder in a vertical position with the valve on top and installed at ground level on a flat surface
Cylinders must not be installed near any heat source and should not be exposed to sun, rain, and dust.
When transporting and storing, turn off the cylinder valve and fuel valve, and disconnect the cylinder.
Plug the outlet, usually by a plastic protective cap, if one is available. Keep cylinders away from heat
and ventilated when in a vehicle.
WARNING:
It there is a strong smell of gas: Close off the gas supply at the cylinder. Use soapy water, which will
produce a large bubble at the point of any leak, to check the hose, and connections on the cylinder
valve and the generator. Do not smoke or light a cigarette, or check for leaks using a match, open flame
source or lighter. Contact a qualified technician to inspect and repair the LPG system if a leak is found,
before using the generator.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING:
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has been provided on the power panel. For
remote grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the
generator ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly recommend that you
consult with a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
