SAFETY
CAUTION
approved Propane cylinders with an Overfilling Prevention
Device (OPD) valve. Always keep the tank in a vertical po-
sition 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 storing, turn the propane cylinder
valve to the fully closed position and disconnect the tank. Be
sure to always cover the generator inlet and tank outlet with
protective plastic caps.
l LPG/Propane is highly flammable and explosive.
l In case of a LPG/Propane fire, DO NOT attempt to extinguish
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 exhaust.
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 Be sure the generator and propane cylinder are on a flat surface
before operating.
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, be 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 heaters,
or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic
ignitions.
