WARNING
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use
extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a
well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment
and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank
while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit
flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel
vapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use
flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by
vibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence of
fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systems
before resuming generator set operation.
102 Section 7 Disassembly/Reassembly
Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check
the LPG vapor or natural gas fuel system for leakage by using
a soap and water solution with the fuel system test pressurized
to 6--8 ounces per square inch (10--14 inches water column).
Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia or
chlorine because both prevent bubble formation. A successful
test depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.
1. Reconnect the battery.
2. Re-apply the 120VAC power supply to the
generator set by closing the upstream circuit
breaker.
3. Reconnect the fuel line and turn on the fuel supply.
4. Press RUN to start the generator set and check for
leaks with the engine running.
5. Follow the instructions in Section 4.8 to purge the
air from the cooling system.
6. If the generator set is equipped with a block heater,
plug in the block heater power cord.
7. Press OFF to turn off the generator set. Then press
