CONNECTION PROCEDURES
1.
Make sure the tank valve is closed (turn valve clockwise till
tight).
2.
Check tank valve to ensure it has proper external male threads.
3.
Make sure all burner valves are OFF.
4.
Inspect valve connections, port, and regulator assembly. Look
for any damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for
damage. Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See local LP gas
dealer for repair.
5.
When connecting regulator assembly to the valve, hand tighten the quick coupling nut
clockwise to a complete stop. Do not use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may
damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
6.
Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to light the grill (see below). If a leak is found,
turn the tank valve off and do not use the grill until a local LP gas dealer can make
repairs.
To disconnect LP gas cylinder:
WARNING
If the grill is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder(s). Storage
of the grill is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the
grill.
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.
1.
Turn the burner valves off.
2.
Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
3.
Detach the regulator assembly from the tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
CAUTION
When installing LP cylinders the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with this grill must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies
must be those specified by the grill manufacturer.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever 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.
LEAK TEST
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole system for leaks following the procedures listed below. If the
smell of gas is detected at anytime you should immediately check the entire system for
leaks.
