WARNING

When transporting and storing, turn off the 

cylinder valve and fuel selector switch, and 

disconnect the cylinder.

Contact with liquid contents of the cylinder 

will cause freeze burns to the skin.

An LPG cylinder not connected for use shall 

not be stored in the vicinity of the generator.

Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright 

position.

Do not subject LPG cylinder to excessive heat.

In the event of an LPG fire, flames should not 

be  extinguished  unless  by  doing  so  the  fuel 

supply  valve  can  be  turned  off.  If  the  fire  is 

extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned 

off, an explosion hazard greater than the fire 

hazard could be created. 

Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator 

all the time.
