LIQUID PROPANE
CYLINDER
ƽ WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE CYLINDER
VALVE IS CLOSED. CLOSE BY TURNING
CLOCKWISE.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of
the tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top
collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.)
One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front.
The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from
the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated
below.
Hook the liquid propane cylinder onto the fuel gauge.
Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder
lock down. Tighten the wing nut.
Remove plastic dust cover from the fuel cylinder valve.
Screw the regulator coupling onto the cylinder
valve(1), clockwise, or to the right. Hand tighten only.
Note: This is a new type of connection. It tightens
clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the
connection is tight. The connection requires tightening
by hand only.
ƽ WARNING: DO NOT USE A WRENCH TO
TIGHTEN THE CONNECTION. USING A WRENCH
COULD DAMAGE THE REGULATOR COUPLING
AND COULD CAUSE A GAS LEAK.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS
FOR LIQUID
PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as
are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at
regular temperatures and pressures. Under
moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a
liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily
vaporizes and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You
should be aware of this odor.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may
collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
• To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look
up "gas-propane" in the phone book for other
sources of LP gas.
• ƽWARNING: We recommend that your LP
cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas
dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the
tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS
DANGEROUS.
• ƽWARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder,
make sure you get a similar tank in return.Your
LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing
coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Over
filling Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders
may not be compatible with your barbecue
connection.
• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before
the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do
this.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and
stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should
not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where
temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by
hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in
a car on a hot day).
Note - A refill will last about 8-10 hours of cooking
time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the
propane supply so you can refill before running out.
You do not have to run out before you refill.
• Treat "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as
when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid
there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder.
Always close the cylinder valve before
disconnecting.
• ƽCAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder
make sure the plastic dust cover is in place
over the valve.This will keep dust and dirt from
the threaded portion of the valve.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty
LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve
may be hazardous and should be replaced with a
new one immediately.
