This machine has been designed and constructed in compliance with the most recent Canadian safety
standards. It features protective guards and clear labeling to minimize hazards and enhance operator
safety. However, despite these precautions, residual risks may persist. Potential hazards associated with
this machine include:
●
Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide emissions from the engine
●
Multiple heat sources, such as the engine and alternator end
●
Fire hazards resulting from improper refueling techniques
●
Risks of electric shock and arc flash
●
Exposure to gaseous fuel and its fumes
To ensure your safety and the safety of others, carefully read and understand the safety information
provided in this manual before operating the machine.
Remember that gasoline, natural gas, and LPG are flammable and can be explosive if leaked and
confined. Keep cigarettes and other open flames away from these areas. If you detect a fuel leak, shut
off the fuel supply immediately and address the issue or have it serviced. Inspect the entire fuel supply
line from the cylinder/tank to the engine for leaks using a soapy water bubble mixture whenever a
cylinder/tank is changed or the fuel supply line is maintained. Regularly check for fuel leaks as part of
routine engine maintenance.
Depending on your engine and fuel system configuration, your machine is designed to run on natural gas
and/or vapor LPG. Refer to the "SPECIFICATIONS" section for information on required fuel supply
pressures for each fuel type.
Natural Gas
Your engine is certified to run on "pipeline-quality natural gas". EPA defines pipeline-quality natural gas
as being supplied by a pipeline and being composed of at least 70% methane by volume or having a
heating value of 950-1100 BTUs per cubic foot. If your natural gas supply does not meet these
specifications, your engine is considered to be being operated as a non-certified engine. See "U.S. EPA
Legal Requirements" at the front of this manual.
LPG
In order to maintain emissions compliance and the engine warranty, use commercial-grade HD-5 or
better LPG, the unit is designed to run on vapor, do not connect liquid source.
