DANGER

ALWAYS insert or tighten hose assembly onto generator. When using a threaded coupling, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. ALWAYS tighten LPG connector assembly by hand, use of tools may damage coupling resulting in a leaky hazardous condition. To check for leaks, use a soapy water mixture to verify all connections prior to starting the generator. DO NOT START GENERATOR IF SOAPY BUBBLES ARE PRESENT INDICATING LEAKS.
