Connecting Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder
1. Make sure the selector switch on the generator is in the off position.
2. Attach the LPG hose (included) to the LPG hose connector on the side of the
generator and tighten with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench.
Important: DO NOT use tape or any other type of sealant to seal LPG hose
connection.
3. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder valve.
4. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG connector on the cylinder and
hand tighten.
5. 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 gas valve at the tank and
tighten the fitting. Turn the gas 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.
NOTE:
Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LP tanks with Type 1, right hand
Acme threads.
Verify the requalification date on the tank 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 a LPG supplier. (Cylinders from an
exchange supplier should have been purged and filled properly already).
Always position the cylinder so the connection between the valve and the
gas inlet won't cause sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
[CAUTION]
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the cylinder or hose connections.
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 fuel 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.
If there is a strong smell of gas: Close off the gas supply at the cylinder. Use soapy
water, which will produce a large bubble at the point of any leak, to check the
hose, and connections on the cylinder valve and the generator. 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 the LPG system if a leak is
found, before using the generator.
