•
Place the generator set safely away from people and
animals.
CAUTION: TILTING CAN CAUSE FUEL

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture
will be too rich. Performance will decrease and fuel
consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul
the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an
altitude that differs from that at which this engine was
certified, for extended periods of time, may increase
emissions.
Engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each
300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. A decrease in
engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the
generator.

PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing
parts and for any damage which may have occurred during

This generator must not be operated without all
factory installed heat shields in place. Failure to
comply may cause the fuel tank to overheat and
result in personal injury from fire or explosion.
TANK INSTALLATION
1. Insert the LPG cylinder carefully
into the intended opening in the
top tank shroud. Make sure the
high pressure hose is in the
intended slot location and will
connect to the propane cylinder
valve easily without bending or
Make sure the belt is

properly fitted around the tank body
2.
Tighten the belt using the proper locking device.
The tank should not lift out or move.
3. Install the coupling on the end of the high pressure hose
onto the propane cylinder valve connection (similar to
many BBQ grills). Screw the nut onto the tank valve
until tight.
4. To check for leaks, spray soapy water on the valve and
regulator connections. Slowly open the tank valve. A
leak exists if bubbles appear or grow larger in size or
number.
5. If a leak exists, the condition must be corrected
immediately. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT. Contact
an authorized service center for assistance.
