when mixed with air. The propane cylinder used with this
generator must meet the following requirements:
• Constructedandmarkedinaccordancewithall
specicationsrequiredbyrelatedlawandregulations.
• Measurements:12in.diameterx18in.tallwith20lb.
maximum capacity, or 12 in. diameter x 23 in. tall with 30 lb.
maximum capacity.
• CylindervalvemusthaveType1connectiondevice
compatible with the connector for the generator.
• Cylindermustbeequippedwithsafetyreliefvalve.
• CylindervalvemusthaveULlistedOverllProtection
Device(OPD).ThisOPDsafetyfeatureisidentiedbya
unique triangular handwheel. Use only propane cylinders
with this type of valve.
• Arrangedforvaporwithdrawalandincludecollartoprotect

To install and connect the propane cylinder with the generator,
follow the instructions below.
1. Pull the handle lock pin ring and restore the handle to the
storage position. Remove the cap on the propane inlet,
and connect the propane connecting hose to the propane
inlet. Screw the locking nut on the hose clockwise tightly
with a wrench for a secure connection (Fig. 14).
2. Lower the cylinder bracket completely. Place a propane
cylinder (not included) into the bracket, making sure the
bottom of the cylinder is placed securely in the opening
in the bracket. To secure the cylinder, place the cylinder
strap around the cylinder and connect to the hook on the
generator frame as shown (Fig. 15).
