1.LP cylinder must be properly secured onto barbecue. (Refer to
assembly section.)

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.
