SAFETY
LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG/PROPANE)
WARNING
er use a gas container, LPG/propane hose, propane
cylinder or any other fuel item that appears to be dam-
aged. If there is a strong smell of propane while op-
erating the generator, fully close the propane cylinder
valve immediately. Once the propane is off, use soapy
water to check for leaks on the hose and connections
on the tank valve and the generator. Do not smoke
or light a cigarette or check for leaks using any open
flame source such as a match or lighter. If a leak is
found, contact a qualified technician to inspect and
repair the LPG/propane system before using the gen-
erator.
CAUTION
use approved Propane cylinders with an Overfilling
Prevention Device (OPD) valve. Always keep the tank
in a vertical position with the valve on top and placed
at ground level on a flat surface. Do not allow tanks to
be near any heat source. When transporting and stor-
ing, turn the propane cylinder valve to the fully closed
position and disconnect the tank. Make sure to always
cover the generator inlet and tank outlet with protec-
tive plastic caps.
l LPG/Propane is highly flammable and explosive.
l In case of a LPG/Propane fire, DO NOT attempt to ex-
tinguish the flame if the fuel valve is in the gas position.
Introducing an extinguisher to a generator with an open
fuel valve could create an explosion hazard.
l LPG/Propane can settle in low places because it is heavier
than air.
l LPG/Propane has a distinctive odor added to help detect
potential leaks. If there is a smell, DO NOT use the engine.
l Always keep a propane cylinder in an upright position.
l When exchanging propane cylinders, be sure the tank
valve is the same type.
l LPG/propane will burn the skin. Prevent skin contact at
all times.
l Keep the propane cylinder away from the generator ex-
haust.
l Large (500–1000 gallon) propane cylinders will require
a certified plumber to install the fuel line to the generator
and the loose regulator is not used (the regulator that is
attached to the fuel tank). The pressure as measured at
the regulator mounted to the generator must be 7 in. to 14
in. of water column. A certified plumber must ensure that
the pressure is correct or install a step down regulator if
needed.
l Make sure the generator and propane cylinder are on a
flat surface before operating.
8 | English

Fire and explosion hazard. Only
l If there is a propane odor do not start the unit because
there may be a potential leak. Never place a propane
cylinder near the engine exhaust.
l When transporting, make sure the propane cylinder and
LPG/propane hose are not attached to the generator.
l Store propane cylinder away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
l Do not store propane cylinder near furnaces, water heat-
ers, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
NATURAL GAS (NG)
WARNING
use a natural gas supply line, natural gas hose, or any
other fuel item that appears to be damaged. If there is
a strong smell of natural gas while operating the gen-
erator, close off all gas sources immediately. Once the
natural gas is off, use soapy water to check for leaks
on the hose and connections on the branch supply
and the generator. Do not smoke or light a cigarette or
check for leaks using any open flame source such as
a match or lighter. If a leak is found, contact a qualified
plumber to inspect and repair the natural gas system
before using the generator.
