Before you start
- Do not use or store LP cylinder in a building, garage or enclosed area except as authorized by NFPA 58 or B149.2.
- Do not check for leaks with a match or flame.
- The cylinder valve should be left off (closed) when the generator is not in use.
- Contact with liquid contents of the cylinder will cause freeze burns to the skin.
Procedure
- Use only standard 20 pound capacity LP tanks with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
- Lift the tank and place in rear tank bracket and tank shroud with connection point facing front.
- Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder valve.
- Attach the connector snugly into the valve (turn plastic coupling right/clockwise to tighten).
- Position cylinder so valve-to-regulator connection does not cause sharp bends or kinks.
- Check for leaks by spraying soapy water on the connections being tested.
- If bubbles appear, grow larger or increase in number, a leak exists; correct before using.
Specs & values
- Regulator inlet pressure range from LP tank: 30 to 100 psi
