200959 - 2000W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR
ASSEMBLY
17
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
1. Confirm the dial is in the OFF position.
2. If using a new propane cylinder, remove the plastic cap from
the cylinder valve.
3. Attach the LPG hose assembly (included) to the propane
cylinder valve and hand tighten.
4. Remove the rubber boot covering the propane connection port
on the inverter.
5. Align the plastic finger on the male hose fitting on the LPG
hose assembly with the slot next to the female quick connect
coupling on the inverter.
6. Insert the hose fitting into the quick connect coupling and
push in until you hear a “click” and the outside collar of the
quick connect coupling moves forward.
7. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a
solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles
which grow indicate that a leak exists. If a leak exists at a
fitting then turn off the valve on the cylinder and tighten the
fitting. Turn the valve back on and recheck the fitting with the
soap and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak
is not at a fitting then do not use the generator and contact
customer service.
NOTICE
The LPG hose included with this unit works with standard
20 and 30 pound LPG tanks.
Verify the requalification date on the cylinder has not
expired.
All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior
to filling. Used cylinders that have not been plugged or kept
closed must also be purged.
The purging process should be done by an LPG supplier.
(cylinders from an exchange supplier should have been
purged and filled properly already).
Always position the cylinder so the connection between the
cylinder valve and generator inlet won’t cause sharp bends
or kinks in the LPG hose.
CAUTION
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the LPG cylinder
or hose connections.
CAUTION
Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an OPD (overfilling
prevention device) valve. Always keep the cylinder in a vertical
position with the valve on top and installed at ground level
on a flat surface. Cylinders must not be installed near any
heat source and should not be exposed to sun, rain, and dust.
When transporting and storing, turn off the cylinder valve and
generator LPG valve, and disconnect the cylinder. Plug the
outlet, usually by a plastic protective cap, if one is available.
Keep cylinders away from heat and ventilated when in a
vehicle.
WARNING
If there is a strong smell of LPG: Close valve on the cylinder.
Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings with a
solution of soap and water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles
which grow indicate that a leak exists. Do not smoke or light a
cigarette, or check for leaks using a match, open flame source
or lighter. Contact a qualified technician to inspect and repair
an LPG system if a leak is found, before using the generator.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric
shock.
A ground terminal connected to the panel of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
For remote grounding, connect a length of heavy gauge
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator ground
terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly
recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with local electrical codes.
Neutral Floating*
Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the frame/
ground of the generator.
The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and
from the AC receptacle ground pin.
