Connecting LPG/ NG Fuel
WARNING! Liquid Petroleum gas (LPG) and Natural Gas (NG) are extremely
flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury.
• •
Do not place the LPG/NG sources in the path of muffler outlet or near any ignition source.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator all the time.
•
Do not use or store LPG/NG portable sources not in use near generator or in a building, garage
or enclosed area.
• •
All LPG/NG supply/ piping lines must be installed by a qualified plumber.
If you smell gas, close off all gas sources and contact a qualified plumber to inspect and
repair the LPG or NG system.
•
Prior to each days first use spray a soapy water solution on LPG/NG fuel connections to check
for leaks.
•
Never use a gas container, LPG/ NG connector hose, LPG cylinder or NG source that appears
to be damaged.
•
Do not connect or disconnect the LPG/ NG source in an enclosed area.
•
LPG is heavier than air and can accumulate in confined / low spaces if there is a leak.
NOTICE LPG and NG systems must be installed and used in strict conformance with NFPA 58
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code), NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code), manufacturers
recommendations, and comply with the authority having jurisdiction requirements.
To connect your generator to a large propane tank or Natural Gas Supply, contact your gas
equipment company or authority having jurisdiction to assure that you are following all required
codes and regulations.
• •
Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
Use only DOT LPG cylinders in vapor service with type 1, right hand ACME threads. Verify the
re-qualification date on the cylinder has not expired.
•
All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior to filling. The purging process
should be done by your propane gas supplier.
Attach the LPG regulator hose assembly (included) to the LPG hose connector (inlet) on the control
panel of the generator. Tighten the nut with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench. Remove the safety plug
or cap from the LPG cylinder valve. Attach the LPG regulator to the cylinder valve. Do not use a
wrench to tighten LPG cylinder nut. Tighten the nut by hand clockwise to a positive stop. Using a
wrench may damage LPG cylinder components.
