Lp Tank Information - Master Forge BG2824BP-L Mode D'emploi

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
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, and restricting gas flow 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.
• Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the appliance.
• 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.
• 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.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should
refill the L.P. tank.
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas tank 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.
