• LPG/Propane has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks.
• ALWAYS keep a LPG/Propane tank in an upright
position.
• When exchanging LPG/propane tanks, be sure the tank
valve is the same type.
• In case of a LPG/propane re, DO NOT attempt to
extinguish unless the fuel supply can be shut off safely.
• LPG/propane will burn the skin. Prevent skin contact at
all times.
• Keep the propane tank away from the generator
exhaust.
• Large (500–1000 gallon) LPG/propane tanks will
require a certied plumber to install the fuel line to
the generator and the loose regulator is not used (the
regulator that is attached to the fuel tank). The pressure
as measured at the regulator mounted to the generator
must be 7” to 14” of water column. A certied plumber
must ensure that the pressure is correct or install a step
down regulator if needed.
WARNING
Fire and explosion hazard. If there is a strong smell of
propane while operating the generator, fully close the
LPG/propane tank valve immediately. Once the propane
is off, use soapy water to check for leaks on the hose
and connections on the tank valve and the generator.
DO NOT smoke or light a cigarette or check for leaks
using any open ame source such as a match or lighter.
If a leak is found, contact a qualied technician to inspect
and repair the LPG/propane system before using the
generator.
When starting the generator:
• Make sure that the fuel cap, air lter, spark plug, fuel
lines, and exhaust system are properly in place.
• If you spill any gasoline on the tank, allow it to fully
evaporate before operating.
• Make sure the generator and LPG/propane tank are on
a at surface before operating.
• If there is a propane odor DO NOT start the unit because
there may be a potential leak. NEVER place a LPG/
propane tank near the engine exhaust.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
• Make sure the LPG/propane tank and LPG/propane
hose are not attached to the generator.
• Disconnect the spark boot to prevent accidental starting.
When storing the generator:
• Store away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights, heat,
and other sources of ignition.
• DO NOT store gas or a LPG/propane tank near
furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that
produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
GFCI
The generator is equipped with Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. In the event of a ground
fault, a GFCI trips automatically to stop the ow of electricity
and prevent serious injury. The green indicator light (A)
on the receptacle will also turn off. Push the “RESET” (B)
button located on the front of the receptacle to restore the
ow of electricity. The indicator light will turn back on. GFCI
does not protect against circuit overloads.
To check the proper operation of a GFCI receptacle:
1. With the generator running, plug a lamp into the GFCI
receptacle. Turn the lamp on.
2. Press the “TEST” (C) button located on the front of the
receptacle to trip the device. This should immediately
stop the ow of electricity and shut off the lamp. If the
electricity is not stopped, DO NOT use this receptacle
until it has been serviced or replaced.
3. Press the “RESET” button located on the front of the
receptacle to restore the ow of electricity. If the indicator
light does not come back on or if the GFCI cannot be
reset then it must be replaced.
NOTICE
Some stationary motors, such as a bathroom vent fan,
uorescent lighting xtures or some refrigerators, may
produce enough current leakage to cause nuisance
tripping. To avoid nuisance tripping, a GFCI should not
supply: uorescent or other types of electric-discharge
lighting xtures or permanently installed electric motors,
like air conditioners, furnaces or refrigerators.
