SAFETY
LEAK TESTING
See Figure 4.
NOTICE
Connections on the hose and the natural
gas/propane inlet were tested at the factory to be sure there
were no gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may
have loosened connections. It is recommended to always
test for leaks before using the generator.
To test for natural gas (NG) leaks:
l Connect the natural gas hose (not included) to the natural gas/
propane inlet on the generator and to the natural gas supply
line.
l Brush the inlet, hose connections, and gas supply valve with a
soapy solution made of a 20/80 mixture of mild soap and water.
l If bubbles begin growing, there is a leak.
• If the leak is at the inlet, contact customer service. DO NOT
USE THE GENERATOR.
• If the leak is at the hose connections, reinstall the hose se-
curely and perform the test again. If the leaks persist, DO
NOT USE THE GENERATOR.
• If the leak is at the natural gas supply line, DO NOT USE
THE GENERATOR.
To test for LPG/Propane leaks:
l Connect the LPG/propane hose to the natural gas/propane inlet
on the generator and to the cylinder valve.
l Open the cylinder valve. If there is a rushing sound, immediately
turn off the cylinder valve. This noise indicates a significant leak
at the connection. Replace the cylinder or have it repaired.
l Brush the inlet, hose connections, and LP gas cylinder with a
soapy solution made of a 20/80 mixture of mild soap and water.
l If bubbles begin growing, there is a leak.
• If the leak is at the inlet, contact customer service. DO NOT
USE THE GENERATOR.
• If the leak is at the hose connections, reinstall the hose se-
curely and perform the test again. If the leaks persist, DO
NOT USE THE GENERATOR.
• If the leak is at the cylinder, do not use or move the cylinder.
Contact the fire department or the gas supplier.
