CONNECTING & USING PROPANE
WARNING! Make sure there is enough propane in the propane tank before
operating.
1) This generator comes with a propane connection cable (A) Fig.4. Connect the small end
of the cable to the propane fitting (B). Using a wrench, tighten well to avoid any leaks.
2) Connect the larger nut (C) at the other end of the cable to the nut on your propane tank.
Tighten well to avoid any leaks.
3) Before operating, or during operation, if you desire propane as your source of fuel, turn
the Gasoline/Propane Selector knob (D) towards the left so the knob points at the
propane tank symbol as shown.

STARTING PROCEDURES

GROUNDING
WARNING! BEFORE STARTING, YOUR GENERATOR MUST BE GROUNDED!
Before operating make sure to ground the generator. A ground terminal (A) Fig.5 identified
by the ground symbol can be found on the front control panel of the generator, attach a
metal spike to a wire, attach the wire to the ground terminal and ground the metal spike
into the earth. Your local electrical company or certified electrician should be able to help
you with this information. See Fig.5.
THE GENERATOR (STATOR WINDING) IS ISOLATED FROM THE FRAME AND FROM
AC RECEPTACLE GROUND PIN, or equivalent; and ELECTRICAL DEVICES THAT
REQUIRE A GROUNDED RECEPTACLE PIN CONNECTION WILL NOT FUNCTION IF
THE RECEPTACLE GROUND PIN IS NOT FUNCTIONAL, or equivalent.
STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
WARNING! Do not adjust or attempt maintenance of engine without
consulting an authorized service center. Never run engine indoors
or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas! Make sure all electrical appliances are unplugged before
attempting to start the generator!
To safely start your generator, follow each step below:
Pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, then pull it out with a rapid full arm stroke. Let the starter rope rewind slowly, repeat if
necessary. Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and generator to stabilize. IF ENGINE OIL
LEVEL IS TOO LOW, ENGINE WILL NOT START. CHECK OIL LEVEL AND ADD IF NECESSARY. On initial starts or seasonal starts, it may
be necessary to pull the recoil starter a few times in order for the fuel to reach the carburetor.
