SAFETY
l NEVER fill the generator's gasoline tank beyond the
maximum fill ring on the fuel screen. Keeping gasoline
levels at or below the fill ring will allow for fuel expansion.
Overfilling the fuel tank can result in a sudden overflow
of gasoline and result in spilled gasoline coming in
contact with HOT surfaces.
l Spilled fuel can ignite. Wipe up spills immediately
and allow area to dry before operating the generator.
NEVER attempt to burn off spilled fuel.
l Securely tighten the fuel cap after adding gasoline.
l Do not cover the fuel cap while the generator is in
operation. Covering the cap may cause the engine to
fail or damage the product.
l Drain fuel before storing the unit. Store the unit and
the fuel separately in well-ventilated areas away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources
of ignition.
l Turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of 30
minutes before draining fuel.
LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG/PROPANE)
WARNING
Never use a gas container, LPG/propane hose,
propane cylinder or any other fuel item that
appears to be damaged. If there is a strong smell of
propane while operating the generator, fully close
the propane cylinder 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 flame source such
as a match or lighter. If a leak is found, contact a
qualified technician to inspect and repair the LPG/
propane system before using the generator.
CAUTION
Only use approved Propane cylinders with an
Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD) valve. Always
keep the tank in a vertical position with the valve on
top and placed at ground level on a flat surface. Do
not allow tanks to be near any heat source. When
transporting and storing, turn the propane cylinder
valve to the fully closed position and disconnect the
tank. Make sure to always cover the generator inlet
and tank outlet with protective plastic caps.
l LPG/Propane is highly flammable and explosive.
l In case of a LPG/Propane fire, DO NOT attempt
to extinguish the flame if the fuel valve is in the gas
position. Introducing an extinguisher to a generator with
an open fuel valve could create an explosion hazard.
l LPG/Propane can settle in low places because it is
heavier than air.
l LPG/Propane has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks. If there is a smell, DO NOT use
the engine.

l Always keep a propane cylinder in an upright position.
l When exchanging propane cylinders, be sure the tank
valve is the same type.
l LPG/propane will burn the skin. Prevent skin contact at
all times.
l Keep the propane cylinder away from the generator
exhaust.
l Large (500–1000 gallon) propane cylinders will require
a certified 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
in. to 14 in. of water column. A certified plumber must
ensure that the pressure is correct or install a step down
regulator if needed.
l Make sure the generator and propane cylinder are on a
flat surface before operating.
l If there is a propane odor do not start the unit because
there may be a potential leak. Never place a propane
cylinder near the engine exhaust.
l When transporting, make sure the propane cylinder and
LPG/propane hose are not attached to the generator.
l Store propane cylinder away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
l Do not store propane cylinder near furnaces, water
heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or
have automatic ignitions.
NATURAL GAS (NG)
WARNING
Never use a natural gas supply line, natural gas
hose, or any other fuel item that appears to be
damaged. If there is a strong smell of natural gas
while operating the generator, close off all gas
sources immediately. Once the natural gas is off,
use soapy water to check for leaks on the hose
and connections on the branch supply and the
generator. Do not smoke or light a cigarette or
check for leaks using any open flame source such
as a match or lighter. If a leak is found, contact a
qualified plumber to inspect and repair the natural
gas system before using the generator.
