LP Cylinder Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision
fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder
only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as
described in the "LP Cylinder" section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE
connecting to grill.
• Place safety cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder
is not in use. Only install the type of safety 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.
LP Cylinder Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is
exchanged or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames
or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water
solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows
in figure below.
• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas
train components can result.
WARNING
If "growing" bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP
cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder
1.LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill. (Refer to
assembly section.)
2.Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3.Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full
stop.
4.Remove the safety cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap
and strap if supplied with valve.
Safety Relief
Valve
Do not use a POL transport
plug (plastic part with external
threads)! It will defeat the
safety feature of the valve.
5.Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP
cylinder valve. Hand-tighten the coupling
nut, holding regulator in a straight line with
LP cylinder valve so as not to cross-thread
the connection.
Nipple has to be
centered into the LP
cylinder valve.
6.Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder
valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to
three-quarters turn is required to complete the
connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator
and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the
connection, do not use this regulator!
DANGER
• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or
safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe
personal injury, or death.
