CHG3500-DF-P - 3000W DUAL FUEL PORTABLE GENERATOR
A
Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 85 and
an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and petrol, this is a 4 stroke engine.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for petrol
expansion.
DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at the pump.
Use an approved fuel container to transfer the petrol to the
generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot, always
allow 30 mins cooling before refueling.
A
Pouring petrol too fast through the fuel screen may result in
petrol splashing over the generator and operator while filling.
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blended petrol. When using ethanol-petrol blends there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-petrol blends can absorb more water than petrol
alone.
– These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised petrol can be drawn into the
carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or create
potential hazards.
– If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-petrol blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended
petrol higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored
petrol, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer's warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the petrol supply and run the
engine to starvation after each use. See Storage instructions
for extended non-use.
Add Fuel: Propane (LPG)
Connecting an LPG cylinder
1. Remove the rubber protective plug from the female connector
of the LPG hose.
CAUTION
WARNING
NOTICE
2. Insert the hose fitting into the quick connect coupling and
push in until you hear a "click" and the outside collar of the
quick connect coupling moves forward.
3. Connect the other end of the LPG hose to the LPG cylinder
valve and hand tighten.
4. Open valve on LPG cylinder and check all connections for
leaks by wetting the fittings with a solution of soap and
water. Bubbles which appear or bubbles which grow indicate
that a leak exists. If a leak exists at a fitting then turn off the
valve on the cylinder and tighten the fitting. Turn the valve
back on and recheck the fitting with the soap and water
solution. If the leak continues or if the leak is not at a fitting
then do not use the generator and contact customer service.
– The LPG hose included with this unit works with standard
20, 30, and 40 pound LPG tanks.
– Verify the requalification date on the cylinder has not
expired.
– Always position the cylinder so the connection between the
cylinder valve and generator inlet won't cause sharp bends
or kinks in the LPG hose.
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the LPG cylinder
or hose connections.
Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an OPD (overfilling
prevention device) valve. Always keep the cylinder in a vertical
position with the valve on top and installed at ground level
on a flat surface. Cylinders must not be installed near any
heat source and should not be exposed to sun, rain, and dust.
When transporting and storing, turn off the cylinder valve and
generator LPG valve, and disconnect the cylinder. Plug the
outlet, usually by a plastic protective cap, if one is available.
Keep cylinders away from heat and ventilated when in a
vehicle.
