SAFETY
WARNING
1. To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand the operator’s manual for their Natural Gas (NG) generator and this manual. Ensure combability and fit before using any accessory. Do not use an accessory if a port is damaged or missing. If you are not comfortable performing any of the functions described in this manual, take your unit to an authorized service center.
2. This product is intended only for use outdoors with portable Natural Gas (NG) generator that may be moved for convenience of operation. Connected hose assembly shall be of adequate length and capacity for the intended application.
3. Connection to outdoor gas piping must be done by a certified plumber. 4. Installation must be made in accordance with any local codes or regulations, or in the absence of local
codes or regulations, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSIZ223.1). 5. The hose and fittings should be visually inspected periodically to determine that they have not been
damaged and are suitable for continued use. 6. The hose and fittings are designed for movement after installation, but must not be kinked, twisted or
torqued. 7. Protect hose and fittings from dust, dirt, and damage when not in use. Insert plastic plug in the socket
and the cap over the hose end plug whenever the hose is removed from socket. 8. Only use the provided quick connect adapter with provided hose assembly. 9. lf your home has no outside Natural Gas (NG) piping, a connection must be installed by a certified
plumber in accordance with any local codes or regulations, or in the absence of local codes or regulations, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code. 10. Remember that whichever fuel delivery system or type of vapor fuel used, the fuel pressure at the demand regulator installed on the engine generator must be between 0.25 and 0.40 PSI. (7-11inches of water column or 4 and 6 oz. of water column). Any lower pressure and the unit will starve for fuel under load. lf the hose and quick connect adapter are properly connected and still not getting gas, delivery pressure needs to be verified. For pressure greater than 0.5 PSl, make sure that an in-line regulator is present. This additional regulator is NOT provided with this kit. Another concern would be rating if hose and quick connect adapter. Both the hose and the quick connect adapter are only rated to 0.5 PSl. 11. The hose assembly, fittings, valves and adapters must be inspected and tested (leak test) before each use for leaks or sign of damages.
