Connecting/InstallingthePropane
Cylinder
Propane is highly ammable and may ignite unexpectedly
when mixed with air. The propane cylinder used with this
generator must meet the following requirements:
• Constructed and marked in accordance with all
specications required by related law and regulations.
• Measurements: 12 in. diameter x 18 in. tall with 20 lb.
maximum capacity, or 12 in. diameter x 23 in. tall with 30 lb.
maximum capacity.
• Cylinder valve must have Type 1 connection device
compatible with the connector for the generator.
• Cylinder must be equipped with safety relief valve.
• Cylinder valve must have UL listed Overll Protection
Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identied by a
unique triangular handwheel. Use only propane cylinders
with this type of valve.
• Arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect
propane cylinder valve. Always keep propane cylinder in
upright position during use, transport, or storage.
To install and connect the propane cylinder with the generator,
follow the instructions below.
1. Pull the handle lock pin ring and restore the handle to the
storage position. Remove the cap on the propane inlet,
and connect the propane connecting hose to the propane
inlet. Screw the locking nut on the hose clockwise tightly
with a wrench for a secure connection (Fig. 14).
2. Lower the cylinder bracket completely. Place a propane
cylinder (not included) into the bracket, making sure the
bottom of the cylinder is placed securely in the opening
in the bracket. To secure the cylinder, place the cylinder
strap around the cylinder and connect to the hook on the
generator frame as shown (Fig. 15).
3. Make sure the cylinder valve on the propane cylinder is
turned clockwise to its full o position. Hold the propane
connecting hose rmly and insert the nipple into the
cylinder valve (Fig. 16).
NOTE: Nipple must be centered in the cylinder valve.
