FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK):

• New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel
propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or
flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
• Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.
• If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, the new cylinder must have
a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).
• Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use. A
damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire or severe
bodily harm.
