This generator is designed to supply electrical power for
operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools,
and motor loads.
BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT
Only use OUTSIDE and at least 20 feet away from win-
dows, doors, and vents as recommended by the U.S
Department of Health and Human Services Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Your specific home and/
or wind conditions may require additional distance.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and
windows are open.
Always position the generator on a flat firm surface.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
There may be General or State Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes or
ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or
the local agency having jurisdiction:
In some areas, generators are required to be registered
with local utility companies.
If the generator is used at a construction site, there may
be additional regulations which must be observed.
USING PROPANE (LIQUID PROPANE ALSO
CALLED LIQUID PETROLEUM)
Propane cylinders used with this generator must be con-
structed and marked in accordance with the Specifications
for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transporation
(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation of Danger-
ous Goods; and Commission.
OPERATION
Propane is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly
when mixed with air. If using a 20 lb. propane cylinder, the
following requirements must also be met:
Measurements: 12 in. diameter x 18 in. tall with 20 lb.
maximum capacity.
Cylinder valve must have:
— Cylinder connection device (Type
1) compatible with the connector
for the generator
— Safety relief valve
— UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD
safety feature is identified by a unique triangular
handwheel. Use only propane cylinders with this type
of valve.
Arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect
propane cylinder valve. Always keep propane cylinder in
upright position during use, transport, or storage.
INSTALLING AND TESTING A 1 LB. PROPANE
CYLINDER
See Figures 2 - 3
A 1 lb. propane cylinder (not included) must be connected
to the generator before it can be leak tested. The cylinder
installs in only one position to help prevent it from cross-
threading into the regulator.
To connect:
Remove the cylinder cap.
Place a propane cylinder into the opening as shown,
making sure the cylinder is lying flat in the cradle and the
threaded outlet is seated in the regulator.
Turn the cylinder clockwise to secure. Hand tighten only.
Using a clean spray bottle and a 50/50 mixture of mild
soap and water, spray soapy solution over the area indi-
cated by the arrow in figure 3.
"Growing" bubbles indicate a leak. Check that the connec-
tion is not cross-threaded and that it is securely tightened,
then repeat the leak test. If a leak is still present, remove
the cylinder and try with a different cylinder. If the leak is
still present using a different cylinder, contact customer
service for repairs to the generator coupling.
If no leaks are present, you may proceed to start the
generator.
To disconnect:
Hold propane cylinder firmly and turn counter clockwise
to remove.
Place cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder
is not in use.
NOTE: Only use the type of cap provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage
of propane.
