IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the
use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as
extension cords and power supply cords connected to
it for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged
items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs
or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or
cracked insulation or damaged blades.
For power outages, permanently installed stationary gen-
erators are better suited for providing back-up power to
the home. Even a properly connected portable generator
can become overloaded. This may result in overheating
or stressing the generator components, possibly leading
to generator failure.
Use only recommended or equivalent replacement parts
and accessories and follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of any other parts or failure
to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this
Operator's Manual.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, gas
leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
If a leak is detected at any time, get away from the pro-
pane cylinder and call the fire department.
Do not use the generator until leak-tested as described
in the Operation section of this manual.
Propane cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach
of children and must not be stored in a building, garage,
or any other closed in area.
This generator must be installed in accordance with the
latest local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the:
• United States:
— National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
— LP Gas Code, NFPA 58
• Canada:
— Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1
— Propane Storage and Handling Code, CSA B149.2.
Always remove the 1 lb. cylinder or turn off gas at the 20
lb. propane cylinder (liquid propane also called liquid pe-
troleum gas) when the generator is not in use. Disconnect
the cylinder before storage.
Before storing, allow the engine to cool for 30 minutes
and remove propane cylinder from the unit. Do not store
a propane cylinder attached to or near the generator. If
not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
When unit is used with the hose adaptor for a 20 lb.
propane cylinder, inspect the propane connection hose
for damage before each use. If it is evident there is ex-
cessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the generator being put into operation.
The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified
by the manufacturer.
Never fill a 20 lb. propane cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
An overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due
to possible gas release from the safety release valve. If
not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
Only use a 20 lb. propane cylinder that includes a collar
to protect the cylinder valve.
