D. CONNECTING THE GAS LINES TO THE PROPANE TANKS
!
New propane tanks are shipped empty with no pressure and must be purged of air and filled with propane per
NPGA (National Propane Gas Association) recommendations prior to initial use.
!
Tank brackets must be mounted to the chair broiler stand (refer to paragraph “E” below).
!
Tanks must be mounted securely to the mounting brackets (refer to paragraph “E” below).
!
Install the green plastic connector onto the external thread on the tank valve. Turn it clockwise and hand
tighten. The plastic nut is designed for easy grip and allows user friendly, wrench-less connection. It is
thermally sensitive and will shut off the flow of gas if subjected to temperatures between 240°F and 300°F.
Type I (Q.C.C. 1) connection system will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made (See Figure
“A-3”).
E. INSTALLING SIDE TANK MOUNTING BRACKETS
Make sure the vent on the regulator is facing down (toward the ground) so that water and other liquids do not
get into the regulator.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All 20 lb LP cylinders are provided with the new Type I ACME valve with an OPD (overfill protection device)
installed. The 40 lb LP cylinders have a Type I ACME service valve with a one-way valve that only allows
propane to flow out of the valve. The 40 lb cylinder cannot be filled through this Type I ACME service valve as
the 20 lb cylinders are. The 40 lb cylinders have a 1-3/4" ACME male fill connection with a built in OPD to
protect the cylinder from being overfilled. Be sure that your local propane supplier has the correct adapter to
fill through a 1-3/4" ACME male filling connector.
20 lb cylinders must be used in the vertical (upright) position and 40 lb cylinders must be used in the
horizontal (laying down) position.
