LP GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
NOTICE
Propane cylinders that use liquid with-
drawal system can not be used on these models.
LP gas is extremely flammable and could ignite sponta-
neously when mixed with air. The LP gas cylinder used
with this generator must meet the following requirements:
l The cylinder must be manufactured and labeled in accor-
dance with the Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres,
18 | English
FIG. 14
A - Fuel Cap
B - Max Fill Line
C - Screen Filter
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission.
l The cylinder must have a safety relief valve.
l The cylinder must include a UL list-
ed Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
Cylinders with this safety feature will have
a unique triangular handwheel. Only use
LP gas cylinders with this type of hand-
wheel.
l The cylinder must be periodically certified for use by the
authority having local jurisdiction (AHJ). Before use, verify
that the certification date on the cylinder has not expired.
l All new cylinders must be purged of air and moisture prior
to filling. Used cylinders that have not been plugged or
kept closed must also be purged. The purging process
should be done by a propane supplier (Cylinders from an
exchange supplier should have been purged and filled
properly).
