SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
!
The safety alert symbol ( ) is used with a signal  
!
WARNING  
word (DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING), a pictorial  
and/or a safety message to alert you to hazards.  
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,  
will result in death or serious injury. WARNING in-  
dicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result  
in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a  
hazard which, if not avoided, might result in minor  
or moderate injury. NOTICE indicates a situation  
that could result in engine damage. Follow safety  
messages to avoid or reduce the risk of injury or  
death.  
Propane and Natural Gas are  
extremely ammable and explo-  
sive.  
Fire or explosion can cause  
severe burns or death.  
• Install the fuel supply system according to  
applicable fuel-gas codes.  
• Before placing the engine into service, the fuel  
system lines must be properly purged and leak  
tested. Procedures used in gaseous fuel leak-  
age tests must comply strictly with applicable  
fuel gas codes.  
The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every  
possible circumstance that might involve a hazard.  
The warnings in this manual, and the tags and  
decals afxed to the unit are, therefore, not all-  
inclusive. If you use a procedure, work method or  
operating technique that the manufacturer does not  
specically recommend you must satisfy yourself  
that it is safe for you and others. You must also  
make sure that the procedure, work method or op-  
erating technique that you choose does not render  
the engine system unsafe.  
• DO NOT use ame or any source of heat to test  
for gas leaks.  
• NO leakage is permitted.  
• LP gas is heavier than air and will settle in low  
areas.  
• Natural gas is lighter than air and will collect in  
high areas.  
• DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is  
present or other explosive conditions exist.  
• The slightest spark can ignite these fuels and  
cause an explosion.  
!
WARNING  
• DO NOT smoke around the engine. Wipe up  
any oil spills immediately. Keep the area near  
the engine clean and free of debris.  
Running engine gives off carbon  
monoxide, and odorless, colorless,  
poison gas.  
Breathing carbon monoxide can  
cause headache, fatigue, dizzi-  
ness, vomiting, confusion, sei-  
zures, nausea, fainting or death.  
• Operate engine ONLY outdoors.  
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a conned  
area through windows, doors, ventilation  
intakes, or other openings.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Please make sure you review each precaution carefully.  
EXHAUST PRECAUTIONS  
• Never inhale gas.  
It contains carbon monoxide, a colorless,  
orderless and extremely dangerous gas  
which can cause unconsciousness  
or death.  
• Never operate the engine indoors or in  
a poorly ventilated area, such as tunnel,  
cave, etc.  
• Exercise extreme care when operating  
the engine near people or animals.  
• Keep the exhaust pipe free of foreign  
objects.  
REFUELING PRECAUTIONS  
• Be sure to stop the engine prior to connecting a fuel line. Refuel outdoors, in a  
well-ventilated area.  
• Use only approved LP/NG fuel hose and connectors.  
• Check for fuel leaks before operating the engine.  
FIRE PREVENTION  
• LPG is extremely ammable and combustible, and so is NATURAL gas.  
• Do not operate while smoking or near an open ame.  
• Do not use around dry brush, twigs, cloth rags, or other ammable materials.  
• Keep the engine at least 3 feet (1 meter)  
away from buildings or other structures.  
• Keep the engine away from ammables  
and other hazardous material (trash, rags,  
lubricants, explosives).  
• DO not leave cigarettes, sparks and  
ames near by any fuel-related parts.  
• Never smoke near LPG or Natural gas  
and keep other ames and sparks away.  
• In order to reduce the risk of the re or  
explosion, be careful when working  
around LPG or Natural gas.

PROTECTIVE COVER  
Place the protective covers over the  
rotating parts.  
If rotating parts such as the drive shaft,  
pulley, belt, etc. are left exposed, they  
are potentially hazardous.  
To prevent injury, equip them with  
protective covers or shrouds.  
Be careful of hot parts.  
The mufer and other engine parts  
become very hot while the engine is  
running or just after it has stopped.  
Operate the engine in a safe area and  
keep children away from the running  
engine.  
• Never make adjustments on the  
machinery while it is connected to the  
engine, without rst removing the ignition  
cable from the spark plug. Turning the  
crankshaft by hand during adjusting  
or cleaning might start the engine, and the  
machinery with it, causing serious injury to  
the operator.  
• Never run the engine with governor  
disconnected, or operate at speeds in  
excess of 3600 rpm load.  
SURROUNDINGS  
• Operate the engine on a stable, level  
surface free of small rocks, loose gravel,  
etc.  
NOTE  
Operating the engine at a steep  
incline may cause seizure due to  
improper lubrication even with a  
maximum oil level.

• Disconnect the LP/NG fuel line before  
transporting the engine.  
• Do not move the engine while in  
operation when it has been removed from  
the equipment.  
• Keep the unit dry (do not operate it in rainy  
conditions).  
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS  
• Carefully check fuel hoses and connec-  
tions for looseness and LPG or Natural Gas  
leakage. Leaking fuel creates a potentially  
dangerous situation.  
• Check bolts and nuts for looseness.  
A loose bolt or nut may cause serious  
engine trouble.  
• Check the engine oil daily and rell if  
necessary.  
• Check the fuel level and rell if necessary.  
• Wear snug tting working clothes when  
operating the engine. Loose aprons,  
towels, belt, etc., may be caught in the  
engine or drive train, causing a dangerous  
situation.

Propane content of 95% of higher  
NATURAL GAS  
Methane content of 90% or equivalent  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
CONVERTING TO NATURAL GAS  
OPERATION  
The engine is optimized for LP operation from the  
factory. The steps below show how to remove the  
orice for NATURAL GAS operation.  
1. Remove Air Cleaner Assembly  
2. Loosen fuel hose clamp and remove the 1”  
black fuel hose from the front of the carburetor  
3. Remove threaded brass orice with either at  
head screw driver or pliers  
4. Replace fuel line hose and tighten clamp  
5. Replace Air Cleaner Assembly  
6. Check for leaks using the procedure below.  
LEAK TESTING THE FUEL  
SYSTEM  
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid  
dishwashing soap.  
2. Turn ON the fuel supply by turning the LP  
fuel tank shut off calve on full turn COUNTER-  
CLOCKWISE.  
3. Using a sponge, rag or small non-metallic  
brush, apply the soap water mixture at each of  
the connection locations of the fuel piping  
system.  
4. Check each location for growing bubbles,  
which indicates a fuel leak.  
5. Close the LP fuel shut off valve.  
6. Tighten or replace any leaking conncections.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
VAPOR WITHDRAWL  
With a vapor withdrawal system, the LP fuel is vaporized in the fuel tank by heat input from the  
ambient temperature. The pressure is reduced to about 11” water column (0.4psi) on the outlet  
side of the primary regulator. The vaporized fuel is then brought to the engine and demand regu-  
lator on the engine reduces the pressure even further before it engine the carburetor (mixer).  
Approximately 10 to 20% of the tank capacity is needed for fuel expansion from the liquid to the  
vapor state. The user should be aware that when the ambient temperatures are low and engine  
fuel consumption is high, the vapor withdrawal system may not function efciently. Ambient tem-  
perature around the supply tank must be high enough to sustain adequate vaporization for the  
system or it will not deliver the needed fuel volume.
