OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Disconnecting A Liquid Propane
Gas (LP Gas) Tank From Your Grill:
1. Turn the burner knobs and LP gas
tank valve to the full OFF position.
(Turn clockwise to close.)
2. Detach the hose and regulator
assembly from the LP gas tank valve
by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise. See Fig. 8.
CAUTION: When the appliance is
not in use, the gas must be turned
off at the supply tank
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, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve
slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
