200991 - 4500W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR
ASSEMBLY
21
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
DANGER
NEVER place the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) connector hose
OR LPG cylinder tank in the path of the muffler exhaust gas
stream of the generator during engine operation.
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 until snug. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN.
4. Remove the rubber boot covering the propane connection port
on the inverter.
5. Remove the rubber protective plug from the female connector
of the LPG hose.
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.
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.
