Propane/LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
• The provided propane/LPG hose with regulator,
works with standard 20, 30 and 40 pound capacity
cylinders with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
Verify the re-qualification date on the tank has not
expired. Do not use rusted or damaged cylinders.
• Only use provided propane/LPG hose for safe
propane operation.
1. Make certain both gasoline and propane/LPG
valves are closed.
2. Remove the rubber protective plugs (if it is avaiable)
and attach the propane/LPG hose with regulator to
the propane/LPG inlet located on the side control
panel of the generator. Tighten with a 19mm or
adjustable wrench. DO NOT over-tighten.
3. Remove safety plug from the propane/LPG cylinder
valve (if it is available) and attach the other end of
the propane/LPG hose with regulator to cylinder
valve. Tighten the nut by hand clockwise to a
positive stop.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use thread seal tape or any
type of sealant to seal the propane LPG hose
connections.
4. Open valve on propane LPG cylinder and 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 valve on
the cylinder and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve
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.
NOTICE
• Use only an approved LPG cylinder equipped with
an OPD (overfilling prevention device) valve.
• DO NOT check for leaks with a lighted match or
flame.
• The propane cylinder valve should be fully closed
when the generator is not in use or is running with
gasoline.
• The regulator/hose assembly and cylinder valve
must be inspected before each use for leaks or sign
of damages.
• 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 your
propane gas supplier.
• Propane/LPG is heavier than air and can
accumulate in confined spaces and low places in
the event of a leak
• Propane/LPG has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks quickly.
• In case of a petroleum gas fire, do not attempt to
extinguish the flame if the fuel supply valve is in the
ON position. Introducing an extinguisher to a
generator with an open fuel supply valve could
create an explosion hazard.
• When exchanging propane/ LPG cylinders, be sure
the cylinder valve is of the same type.
• Always keep the propane/LPG cylinder in an
upright position.
• Propane/LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact
with it. Keep Propane/LPG away from skin at all
times.
• Always position the cylinder so the connection
between the valve and the regulator won't cause
bends or kinks in the hose.
• DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes while you are
connecting the propane/LPG cylinder.Check the fuel
system periodically for leaks or signs of damages.
• 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.
