Connecting LPG Tank
1. Make sure the generator is o, on a at surface in
well ventilated area.
2. Make sure propane tank valve is in the o position.
3. Make sure the fuel selector switch on the generator
control panel is pointing downward to “Propane”.
4. Remove the plastic cover on the generator propane
inlet valve.
5. Using your ngers tighten the LPG hose (included)
end below to the generator propane inlet. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN 35-88 Ib-in maximum.
6. Attach the other end of the hose to a tank of LPG/
Propane and hand tighten.
7. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the
ttings with soapy water. Anywhere that bubbles
appear or grow indicates a leak in the connection.
If a leak exists at a tting then turn o the tank
valve and tighten the tting. Turn the gas back on
and recheck with soapy water again. If the leak
continues or if the leak is not at a tting then do not
use the generator and contact customer service.
NOTICE
• Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LPG tanks with Type
1, right hand Acme threads.
• Verify the requalication date on the tank has not expired.
• All new tanks must be purged of air and moisture prior to lling.
Used tanks that have not been plugged or kept closed must also
be purged
• The purging process should be done by a LPG supplier. (Tanks
from an exchange supplier should have been purged and lled
properly already)
• Always position the tank so the connection between the valve
and the gas inlet won’t cause sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
WARNING
Do not start generator if you smell propane.
This may result in explosion hazard. Do not use
provided LPG hose for any other appliances.
Always turn o the propane tank and
disconnect LPG hose when not in use.
