201223 - 4000W TRI-FUEL PORTABLE GENERATOR
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
– Gasoline vapors expand and contract with ambient
temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank past the red FULL
indicator on the fuel filter, as gasoline vapors needs room to
expand if temperatures rise.
WARNING
Propane/LPG (liquified petroleum gas) and LPG Vapors:
– LPG is a hydrocarbon gas that exists in a liquified form and
it’s vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
– LPG and it’s vapors are under pressure and can cause a
fire or explosion if ignited.
– LPG vapors are heavier than air and will settle in low
places while dissipating.
– LPG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a chemical
is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks quickly.
– If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas
supply.
– In the event of an LPG fire and only when safe to do so,
first close the regulator valve OFF and then use a dry
powder extinguisher to put out the fire. This is because if
a fire is extinguished before the regulator valve is closed
OFF, then an explosion hazard condition could be created.
– Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
– LPG is a skin irritant and can cause severe cold burns
similar to frostbite.
– Always wear proper protective gloves when connecting to
and disconnecting from a propane bottle.
– Always keep LPG away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
WARNING
NG (natural gas) and NG Vapors:
– NG vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
– NG vapors can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– NG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a chemical
is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks quickly.
– NG is lighter than air and will collect in higher areas.
– If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas
supply.
WARNING
When adding or removing gasoline:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Always stop the engine and allow to cool for a minimum of two
minutes before refueling.
Always loosen gasoline cap slowly to release vapor pressure
and to keep fuel from escaping around the gasoline cap.
Always replace and tighten the gasoline cap securely after
fueling.
Never remove the gasoline cap or add gasoline while the
engine is running or when the engine is hot.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas
station.
Always store gasoline in an EPA/CARB compliant container or
to transfer the gasoline to the generator.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline, propane and natural gas vapors away
from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources
of ignition.
WARNING
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Always check that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel
lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before
attempting to start the engine.
Always check the connections of the supply hose for leaks
before using LPG or NG fuel.
Always be certain that the generator is resting firmly on level
ground.
WARNING
When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
WARNING
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Always check that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty.
Always check that the LPG or NG supply hose is disconnected
and stored securely away from the generator after use.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
