SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
For LPG Operation : Connecting LPG / Propane Tank
a. LPG / Propane and Natural Gas systems must be installed and used in strict conformance with
NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code), NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code), manufacturer's
recommendations, and all relevant local, state, and federal codes and regulations.
b. The LPG / Propane tank capacity must be minimum 40 lb or larger to avoid tank freezing
during use. Tank must conform to the standard as listed in Setup Precautions section.
c. Propane tanks that use a liquid withdrawal system cannot be
used with this Generator.
d. Verify the re-qualification date on the tank has not expired.
e. Connect LPG / Propane tank using provided attachment kit only. Kit includes
1.5 meter (4.9 ft) Hose. Place tank as far away from Generator as Hose allows
and away from engine exhaust. Do not place tank above Generator.
Do not use included LPG / Propane Hose with any other appliances.
f. All new tanks or used tanks that have not been plugged or kept closed
must be purged of air and moisture by a propane supplier prior to filling.
g. Position the tank so the connection between the tank valve and the
LPG / NG Inlet will not cause sharp bends or kinks in the Hose.
h. Inspect the LPG / Propane Hose before every use.
Do not use damaged equipment. If damage is detected,
have the problem corrected before further use.
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not start the engine if the smell of
LPG / Propane hangs in the air. Close the
propane tank valve and disconnect the
LPG / Propane hose from the Generator when not in use.
1. Turn the Generator OFF and place on a
flat surface in a well ventilated area.
2. Verify that the propane tank valve
is in the fully closed position.
3. Attach the Quick Connect Adapter
on the LPG / Propane Hose to the
LPG / NG Inlet on the Generator.
4. Remove the safety plug or cap from
the propane tank valve.
5. Attach the other end of the Hose to the
LPG / Propane connector on the tank.
Hand tighten clockwise to a positive
stop. To prevent damage, do not use a
wrench or tool to tighten the connector.
6. Turn the propane tank valve to the fully open
position. Check for leaks by applying soapy water
to all connections. Look for bubbles. If bubbles
are present at connections, close the propane tank
valve and tighten connections. Open the valve
and recheck connections. If a leak continues or
is not at a connection do not use the Generator.
Have the problem corrected before further use.
