Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
•Before placing the Home Standby Generator into service, the fuel system lines must be properly purged and leak tested.
•NO leakage is permitted.
The manometer port permits temporary installation of a manometer (Figure 5), to ensure that the engine receives the correct fuel pressure to operate efficiently throughout its operating range.
