IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
the home. Even a properly connected portable generator
can become overloaded. This may result in overheating
or stressing the generator components, possibly leading
to generator failure.
 Use only recommended or equivalent replacement parts
and accessories and follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of any other parts or failure
to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
 Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this
Operator's Manual.
 Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, gas
leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
 This generator must be installed in accordance with the
latest local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the:
• United States:
— National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
— LP Gas Code, NFPA 58
• Canada:
— Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1
— Propane Storage and Handling Code, CSA B149.2.
 Always turn off gas at the propane cylinder (liquid propane
also called liquid petroleum gas) when the generator is
not in use. Disconnect the cylinder before storage.
 Before storing, allow the engine to cool for 30 minutes
and remove propane cylinder from the unit. Do not store
a propane cylinder attached to or near the generator. If
not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
 Inspect the propane connection hose for damage before
each use. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
generator being put into operation. The replacement hose
assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
 Never fill the propane cylinder beyond 80 percent full. An
overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due
to possible gas release from the safety release valve. If
not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
 Only use a propane cylinder that includes a collar to
protect the cylinder valve.
 If a leak is detected at any time, get away from the propane
cylinder and call the fire department.
 Do not use the generator until leak-tested as described
in the Operation section of this manual.
 Propane cylinders must be stored outdoors out of
reach of children and must not be stored in a building,
garage, or any other closed in area.
