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.
DANGER
Do not start generator if you smell propane. Always
fully close the propane tank valve and disconnect the
propane/LPG hose from the generator when not in use.
FUEL SENSE (Automatic Fuel Selection Technology)
Your generator is equipped with FUEL SENSE technolo-
gy which automatically switches fuel intake between
gasoline and propane/LPG to extend runtime. Propane
is a prioritized fuel which means the generator will use
propane as soon as the Propane Cylinder Valve is
opened. The generator will use gasoline if there is not
enough propane remaining in the cylinder OR if the
Propane Cylinder Valve is closed.
If you wish to use gasoline, the Starting Dial Switch
should be in the ON position and the Propane Cylinder
Valve should be CLOSED. Opening the Propane Cylin-
der Valve will immediately replace gasoline intake with
propane intake.
If you wish to use propane, the Starting Dial Switch
should be in the ON position and the Propane Cylinder
Valve should be OPEN. Closing the Propane Cylinder
Valve OR having an insufficient remaining level of
propane in the cylinder will immediately replace
propane intake with gasoline intake.
