Connecting LPG Tank
1. Make sure the generator is o, on a at surface in well
ventilated area.
2. Make sure propane tank valve is in the o position.
3. Make sure the fuel selector switch on the generator
control panel is pointing downward to “Propane”.
4. Remove the plastic cover on the generator propane
inlet valve.
5. Using your ngers tighten the LPG hose (included) end
below to the generator propane inlet. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN 35-88 Ib-in maximum.
6. Attach the other end of the hose to a tank of LPG/
Propane and hand tighten.
7. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the ttings
with soapy water. Anywhere that bubbles appear or
grow indicates a leak in the connection. If a leak exists
at a tting then turn o the tank valve and tighten the
tting. Turn the gas back on and recheck with soapy
water again. If the leak continues or if the leak is not
at a tting then do not use the generator and contact
customer service.
NOTICE
• When using standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LPG tanks, make sure
they have Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
• Verify the requalication date on the tank has not expired.
• All new tanks must be purged of air and moisture prior to lling. Used
tanks that have not been plugged or kept closed must also be purged
• The purging process should be done by a LPG supplier. (Tanks from
an exchange supplier should have been purged and lled properly
already)
• Always position the tank so the connection between the valve and the
gas inlet won’t cause sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
WARNING
Do not start generator if you smell propane. This may
result in explosion hazard. Do not use provided LPG
hose for any other appliances. Always turn o the
propane tank and disconnect LPG hose when not in
use.
