Safety Warnings
⚠️ WARNING: The user must read and understand the user manual for the compatible generator before using this accessory to reduce the risk of injury. Before operating the generator, ensure it is on a flat, stable surface outside. NEVER operate a generator in a home or garage, even with doors and windows open. Ensure all loads are disconnected from the generator before operation. Verify the hose kit is correctly installed. Do not route the natural gas hose where it will not be visible during operation. Inspect the natural gas hose before each use; do not use if damaged. Keep the natural gas hose and natural gas supply line away from the generator's muffler and other heat sources. Retain these instructions for instructing other users and for frequent reference.
⚠️ WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard. Never connect or disconnect the natural gas hose while the generator is operating. Do not smoke or create sparks when handling natural gas. Always turn off the generator and allow it to cool for a minimum of five minutes before connecting to natural gas.
⚠️ WARNING: Never use a natural gas supply line, natural gas hose, or any other fuel item that appears to be damaged.
Leak Testing
Refer to Figure 1 for connection illustration.
- Connect the natural gas hose to the natural gas inlet on the generator and to the natural gas supply line.
- Open the valve on the natural gas supply line. If a rushing sound is heard, immediately turn off the natural gas supply line valve. This indicates a significant leak at the connection. Replace or repair the natural gas supply line.
- Brush the inlet, hose connections, and the natural gas supply valve with a soapy solution (20/80 mixture of mild soap and water).
- If bubbles begin to form, there is a leak.
- If the leak is at the inlet, contact customer service. DO NOT USE THE GENERATOR.
- If the leak is at the hose connections, install the hose securely and re-check. If leaks persist, DO NOT USE THE GENERATOR.
- If the leak is at the natural gas supply line, DO NOT USE THE GENERATOR.
