ASSEMBLY

Do not allow children to tamper or play with the

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 fuel 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.

CAUTION

Connecting LPG Cylinder Cont’d.

Grounding

Your generator must be properly connected to an

appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.

A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator

has been provided on the power panel. For remote

grounding, connect of 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.

Failure to properly ground the generator can result

in electric shock.

WARNING

– Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LP

tanks with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.

– Verify the requaliﬁcation date on the tank 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 a LPG

supplier. (Cylinders from an exchange supplier

should have been purged and ﬁlled properly

already).

– Always position the cylinder so the connection

between the valve and the gas inlet won’t cause

sharp bends or kinks in the hose.

NOTE

Connecting the Propane (LPG) Cylinder

1. Make sure the fuel selector switch on the inverter is

in the 12 o’clock (vertical) position. (A)

2. Using your ﬁngers, slide the outer barrel back on

the LPG quick connect hose ﬁtting (B).

3. While the outer barrel is in the back position, insert

the LPG hose (included) into the inlet and release

the outer barrel. The barrel will automatically return

and lock the hose in the inlet.

4. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder

valve.

5. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG

cylinder and hand tighten.

6. 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 gas valve at the tank and tighten the ﬁtting.

Turn the gas 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.

If there is a strong smell of gas: Close off the gas

supply at the cylinder. Use soapy water, which will

produce a large bubble at the point of any leak, to

check the hose, and connections on the cylinder valve

and the generator. 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 the LPG system if a leak is found, before

using the generator.
