POSITIONING

• Place the generator set on a flat and solid surface to

prevent it from sinking.

• Keep fuel, oil or other explosives at a safe distance from

the generator set.

• Select a site that is well ventilated and protected from the

weather.

• Place the generator set safely away from people and

animals.

CAUTION: TILTING CAN CAUSE FUEL

SPILLAGE

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture

will be too rich. Performance will decrease and fuel

consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul

the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an

altitude that differs from that at which this engine was

certified, for extended periods of time, may increase

emissions.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific

modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your

engine at altitudes above 914 meters (3,000 feet), have your

authorized service center perform a carburetor modification.

HIGH ALTITUDE KIT PART NUMBER: 0070987

Even with a carburetor modification, engine horsepower

will decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot)

increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will

be greater if no carburetor modification is made. A decrease

in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the

generator.

NOTICE: Warranty is Void if the necessary adjustments for

high altitude use are not made.

PRE-START PREPARATION

Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing

parts and for any damage which may have occurred during

shipment.

TANK INSTALLATION

1. Install the Clamp Tightening

Knob as shown in the

illustration.

2. Make sure the Clamp

tightening knob is turned out

counter clockwise far enough to accept the metal ring on

the bottom of Propane fuel cylinder.

3. Insert the LPG cylinder carefully

into the intended opening in the

top tank shroud. Make sure the

high pressure hose is in the

intended slot location and will

connect to the propane cylinder

valve easily without bending or

kinking.

4. Tighten the Clamp Knob by turning the knob clockwise

until it fits snugly around the metal ring. The tank should

not lift out or move.

5. Install the plastic coupling (ACME type 1 nut) on the end

of the high pressure hose onto the propane cylinder valve

connection (similar to many BBQ grills). Screw the nut

onto the tank valve until tight.

6. To check for leaks, spray soapy water on the valve and

regulator connections. Slowly open the tank valve. A

leak exists if bubbles appear or grow larger in size or

number.

7. If a leak exists, the condition must be corrected

immediately. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT. Contact

an authorized service center for assistance.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

When the carburetor has been modified for high

altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean

for low altitude use. If the generator is used at low

altitudes after a carburetor modification, the

carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result

in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes,

have your authorized service center return the

carburetor to original factory specifications.

TANK INSTALLATION, GENERATOR

STARTING & STOPPING

This generator must not be operated without all

factory installed heat shields in place. Failure to

comply may cause the fuel tank to overheat and

result in personal injury from fire or explosion.
