4. Connect LPG/propane tank using provided
attachment kit only. Kit includes 1.5 meter
(4.9 ft) hose. Place tank as far away from
Generator as hose allows and away from engine
exhaust. Do not place tank above Generator.
5. 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.
6. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s) with
battery backup in nearby buildings according
to manufacturer's instructions.
7. Have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
8. Operation of this equipment may create sparks that
can start fires around dry vegetation.
A spark arrestor may be required. The operator
should contact local fire agencies for laws or
regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.
9. Set up and use only on a flat, level,
well-ventilated surface.
Operating Precautions
1. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage,
EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away
from windows, doors, and vents.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
10. All connections and conduits from the Generator
to the load must only be installed by trained and
licensed electricians, and in compliance with all
relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and
standards, and other regulations where applicable.
11. Connections for standby power to a building
electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the
Generator power from utility power, and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
12. A transfer switch should be installed by a
licensed electrician in compliance with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
13. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty
work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during set up.
14. Use only lubricants and fuel recommended
in the Specifications chart of this manual.
15. Improper connections to a building electrical system
can allow electrical current from the Generator
to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed
may electrocute utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a power outage,
and the Generator may explode, burn, or cause
fires when utility power is restored. Consult
the utility company and a qualified electrician if
intending to use the Generator for back up power.
16. Do not operate the Generator before grounding.
The Generator must be earth-grounded
in accordance with all relevant electrical
codes and standards before operation.
Do not use in trailers, truck beds, or tents.
