200962 - 2500W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR
ASSEMBLY
17
NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blended gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into
the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or
create potential hazards.
If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended
gasoline higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored
gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
DANGER
NEVER place a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG cylinder
or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream
during operation of the engine.
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.
