OPERATION
SELECTING THE FUEL SOURCE
See Figure 20 - 21.
DANGER
DO NOT add gasoline to the fuel tank or connect
the LPG/propane hose or natural gas hose to the
generator while the generator is in operation.
NOTICE
Load capacities differ depending on the fuel
source. Before switching fuel sources, make
sure the generator can supply enough running
(continuous) and peak (starting) watts for the items
your connected items.
The fuel source can be switched while the engine is
off or while it is running if a propane tank or natural
gas supply line is connected to the generator BEFORE
operation. If you switch from gasoline to another fuel
source while the engine is running, it may run rough for
a few seconds as it purges gasoline from the carburetor.
To switch to gasoline:
l Turn the fuel valve to the open position to start the flow
of gasoline.
l Rotate the fuel selector switch to GASOLINE .
l Turn off the flow of natural or propane gas.
To switch to propane:
l Open the cylinder valve on the LP gas cylinder to start
the flow of propane.
l Rotate the fuel selector switch to PROPANE .
l Turn off the flow of natural gas and gasoline.
To switch to natural gas:
l Open the valve on the natural gas supply line to start
the flow of natural gas.
l Rotate the fuel selector switch to NATURAL GAS .
l Turn off the flow of propane and gasoline.
Fire and explosion hazard.
Do not overload the generator.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above
sea level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5%
for every 1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at
altitudes over 5,000 ft. (1524 m). Operation without
this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
NOTICE
at altitudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high
altitude kit installed. Engine damage may occur.
