Type of Fuel to Use

An important consideration affecting the entire
installation is the type of fuel to be supplied. For
proper engine function, use clean, dry fuel, free of
moisture or any particulate material. Using fuels
outside the recommended values may cause
performance problems.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive, which could cause burns, fire or
explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
• The generator is equipped with an automatic safety
gas "fuel shut-off" valve.
• DO NOT operate the equipment if the "fuel shut-off"
valve is missing or inoperative.
