OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow
of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the
cylinder is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified,
as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet
connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed
area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill protection device, OPD, and a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for
L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CAS-B339, "Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and
Commission."
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to
ensure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism
internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. Opening
the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas
flow and causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not
falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the "OFF" position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used
again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill
the L.P. tank.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided
with the cylinder valve. Other types of
caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under
or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
