● All new propane tanks must be purged of air and moisture prior to
lling. Used propane tanks that have not been plugged or kept
closed must also be purged. The purging process should be done
by a propane tank supplier (propane tanks from an exchange
supplier should have been purged and lled properly).
● ALWAYS position the propane tank so the connection between the
valve and the gas inlet will not cause sharp bends or kinks in the
hose.
Explosion hazard. DO NOT start generator if you smell propane.
ALWAYS fully close the propane tank valve and disconnect the LPG
hose from the generator when not in use.
1. Turn the generator OFF and place on a at surface in a well ventilated
area.

connections for leaks by wetting the ttings 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 tting, turn the propane tank valve to the
fully closed position and tighten the tting. Open the propane tank valve
