HOSE AND REGULATOR:
Your grill is equipped
with a Type 1 connection
device with the
following
features:
1.
The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder
until a
positive connection
to the valve has been made.
Note:
The cylinder
valve must be turned off before any
connection
is made or removed.
2.
A thermal
device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is
subject
to temperatures
above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to
150°C). If this should happen,
remove the entire regulator
assembly
and dispose
of properly.
In order to insure proper
operation,
any replacement
of the fuel tank regulator
assembly
has to be done with parts authorized
by the grill manufacturer.
The cause of the excessive
heat should be determined
and
corrected
before using your grill again.
3.
A regulator
flow limiting device, when activated,
restricts
the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device is
activated,
perform
Regulator
Resetting
Procedure.
REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE:
1.
2.
Make sure that all burners are off. Turn off the cylinder valve
and disconnect
regulator
from LP gas tank. Wait approximately
two minutes.
Reattach
regulator
and slowly turn cylinder valve back on. The
flow limiting device will now be reset.
Never use your grill without leak testing all gas
connections and hoses. See the section on "Leak
Testing" in this manual for proper procedures.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with your gas grill must be used.
DO NOT attempt to connect grill, as purchased for LP
(propane) gas, to any other fuel supply source such as
a natural gas line.
DO NOT use any other pressure regulator/hose
assembly other than the one supplied with your grill.
Replacement pressure regulator/hose assembly must
be done with identical replacement parts.
DO NOT attempt to adjust or repair the regulator. The
regulator is designed to operate at a maximum output
pressure of 11 inches of water column (2.74 kPa).
During assembly
and/or
replacement
of the gas cylinder,
keep the
gas supply hose free of kinks and/or damage.
Visually
inspect
the hose assembly
prior to each use for evidence
of
damage,
excess wear, or deterioration.
If found, replace the
assembly
before using your grill. In order to insure proper operation,
any replacement
of the hose assembly
must be done with identical
replacement
parts. Call 1-800-848-8915
for replacement
parts.
CONNECTING HOSE AND REGULATOR
TO AN LP GAS CYLINDER
Ensure the tank valve is CLOSED prior to connecting
the LP gas cylinder to your grill. Turn the valve knob
clockwise to properly close the valve. Read and follow
all instructions and warnings on the supply hose safety
tags. Read and follow all warnings in this manual
concerning the safe use of LP gas cylinders and the
hose and regulator before connecting cylinder to grill.
Read and follow all warnings on the LP cylinder.
CONNECTING HOSE AND REGULATOR:
1.
2.
3.
4.
8.
6.
7.
Check that the cylinder valve is closed
by turning
the knob
clockwise.
Make sure that all burners
are off.
Remove the protective
plastic cap from the cylinder
valve and the
connection
device.
Hold regulator
and insert the nipple of connection
device into the
LP cylinder valve outlet. Ensure that the device
is centered
properly.
Turn the large coupling
nut clockwise
by hand and tighten to a
full stop. Take care not to cross thread the coupling
nut onto the
cylinder
valve. Do not over-tighten
the knob onto the valve. Do
not use tools to tighten connection.
Note:
If you are unable to make the connection,
repeat
Steps 4 and 5.
Check that the hose does not contain
kinks, does not contact
sharp edges, and does not contact
surfaces
that may become
hot during
use.
Leak check all fittings before lighting
your grill. See section
on
"Leak Testing" in this manual.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
•
DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area
while conducting a leak test.
•
Perform test OUTDOORS only in a well ventilated area.
•
Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
•
Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or
while grill is still hot.
