North Star M165938N - Manual (Page 15)

Installation / Initial Set-Up
15
♦ This product is designed to operate at an LPG gas pressure range of 7” to
11” of water column and requires a minimum LPG gas flow rate of 9.33
lb/hr, 2.2 Gal/hr, or 201,718 BTU/hr.
Note: All gas cylinders produce gas pressure in excess of 11” water
column. Introduction of gas pressure into the generator in
excess of 11” water column will permanently damage this
product and void the warranty. You will need a pressure-
reducing regulator installed as part of your LP gas fuel system.
♦ You will need a minimum 100 lb. LPG gas tank to operate the
generator.
This generator will not work with 20-lb gas cylinders used in gas grills
and recreational equipment, or 40-lb gas cylinders used in forklifts and
tractors. These smaller gas tanks do not have a sufficient vaporization
rate to run the generator.
Some installations may require tanks even larger than 100-lb as a result
of low surrounding air temperature and other appliances drawing fuel
from the same tank.
