Installation / Initial Set-Up

♦This product is designed to operate at an LPG gas pressure range of 7” to 11” of water column and requires a minimum LPG gas flow rate of 9.33 lb/hr, 2.2 Gal/hr, or 201,718 BTU/hr.

Note: All gas cylinders produce gas pressure in excess of 11” water column. Introduction of gas pressure into the generator in excess of 11” water column will permanently damage this product and void the warranty. You will need a pressure- reducing regulator installed as part of your LP gas fuel system.

♦You will need a minimum 100 lb. LPG gas tank to operate the generator.

This generator will not work with 20-lb gas cylinders used in gas grills and recreational equipment, or 40-lb gas cylinders used in forklifts and tractors. These smaller gas tanks do not have a sufficient vaporization rate to run the generator.

Some installations may require tanks even larger than 100-lb as a result of low surrounding air temperature and other appliances drawing fuel from the same tank.
