When transporting or servicing the generator:
• Make certain the fuel shuto valve is o and the fuel
tank is empty.
• Make sure the LPG tank and LPG hose is not attached
to the generator.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
• Store away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights, heat
and other sources of ignition.
• Do not store gas or LPG tank near furnaces, water
heaters or any other appliances that produce heat or
have automatic ignitions.
CAUTION
Only use approved LPG tanks with OPD
(overlling prevention device) valve.
Always keep the tank in a vertical position
with the valve on top and installed at
ground level on a at surface. Do not allow
tanks to be around any heat source and
make sure it is not exposed to the sun,
rain and dust. When transporting and
storing, turn o the tank valve and fuel
valve, and disconnect the tank. Make sure
to always cover the generator and tank
outlet with protective plastic caps.
CAUTION
Do not allow children to tamper or
play with the propane tank or hose
connections.
WARNING
If there is a strong smell of propane while
operating the generator close the valve on
the propane tank immediately. Once the
propane is o, 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 ame source such
as a match or lighter. If a leak is found
contact a qualied technician to inspect
and repair the LPG system before using
the generator.
DANGER
Gasoline and liquid petroleum gas
(LPG) are highly explosive and
ammable. Explosions and re can
cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapor (Gas)
• Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive.
• Gas expands and contracts with dierent temperatures.
• In case of a gas re, do not attempt to extinguish the ame
if the fuel shuto valve is in the on position. Introducing an
extinguisher to a generator with an open fuel valve could
create an explosion hazard.
• Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential leaks
quickly.
• Gas vapors can cause a re if ignited.
• Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.
Liquid Petroleum Gas (Propane/LPG)
• LPG/Propane is highly ammable and explosive.
• Flammable gas under pressure can cause a re or explosion
if ignited.
• LPG/Propane can settle in low places because it is heavier
than air.
• LPG/Propane has a distinctive odor added to help detect
potential leaks.
• Always keep LPG/Propane tank in an upright position.
• When exchanging LPG/Propane tanks, be sure the tank value
is the same type.
• In case of a LPG/Propane re, do not attempt to extinguish
unless the fuel supply can be shut o.
• LPG/Propane will burn the skin. Prevent skin contact at all
times.
WARNING
Never use a gas container, LPG
connector hose, LPG tank or any
other fuel item that appears to be
damaged.
When starting generator:
• Make sure that the gas cap, air lter, spark plug, fuel
lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
• If you spill any gasoline on the tank, allow it to fully
evaporate before operating.
• Make sure the generator and propane tank are on a at
surface before operating.
• If there is a propane odor do not start the unit because
there may be a potential leak.
• Never place propane tank near engine exhaust.
