Checking Gas Line Connections

1. Check for leaks by spraying all connection points
with a non-corrosive gas leak detection fluid. The
solution should not be blown away or form bubbles.
2. Check gas pressure at the regulator in the
generator by following these steps.
•
Close gas supply valve.
•
Remove the top gas pressure test port from the
regulator (see Figure
pressure tester (manometer).
•
Open the gas supply valve and verify the pressure
is within the specified values.
•
Record static gas pressure:
NOTE: Gas pressure can also be tested at the
manometer port on the fuel shut-off valve shown in
Figure 5-3.
NOTE: See the owner's manual or the spec sheet for
proper fuel pressure specifications. If the gas pressure is
not within specifications, contact the local gas supplier.
3. Close gas valve when completed, but keep
manometer connected for future tests of the
generator while starting, running and under loads.
