Westinghouse WGen9500DFc User Manual page 7

• LPG/Propane is highly flammable and explosive.
• Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire or
explosion if ignited.
• LPG/Propane can settle in low places because it is
heavier than air.
• LPG/Propane has a distinctive odor added to help
detect potential leaks.
• ALWAYS keep a LPG/Propane tank in an upright
position.
• When exchanging LPG/propane tanks, be sure the tank
valve is the same type.
• In case of a LPG/propane fire, DO NOT attempt to
extinguish unless the fuel supply can be shut off safely.
• LPG/propane will burn the skin. Prevent skin contact at
all times.
• Keep the propane tank away from the generator
exhaust.
• A step-down regulator is required when using LPG/
propane tanks over 100 gallons. The pressure as
measured at the regulator mounted to the generator
must be 7" to 14" of water column.
Large (500–1000 gallon) LPG/propane tanks 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).
Fire and explosion hazard. If there is a strong smell of
propane while operating the generator, fully close the
LPG/propane tank 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.
WARNING
When starting the generator:
• Make sure that the fuel cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel
lines, and exhaust system are properly in place.
• If you spill any gasoline on the tank, allow it to fully
evaporate before operating.
• Make sure the generator and LPG/propane tank are on
a flat surface before operating.
• If there is a propane odor DO NOT start the unit because
there may be a potential leak. NEVER place a LPG/
propane tank near the engine exhaust.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
• Make sure the LPG/propane tank and LPG/propane
hose are not attached to the generator.
• Disconnect the spark boot to prevent accidental starting.
