LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection & Disconnection 

Note: LP gas tank manufacturers: Washington & Manchester 
 
1.

 

Always place the propane cylinder on the tank brackets located on the right side of the cart. 

2.

 

Always confirm all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before activating the gas supply. 

3.

 

Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of 
the regulator valve, or in the head of the burner and burner ports.   

4.

 

Always connect the gas supply regulators as follows: Insert the nipple of the valve coupling into the 
tank valve and tighten the connection collar by turning it clockwise with one hand while holding the 
regulator with the other hand.(See diagram to right.) 

5.

 

Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use. 

6.

 

Always confirm all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before disconnecting the gas supply. 

7.

 

Before disconnecting, be sure that the tank valve is in OFF position. 

8.

 

Always disconnect the gas supply regulators as follows: Loosen the connection collar by turning it 
counter-clockwise with one hand while holding the regulator with the other hand and take the nipple 
of the valve out of the tank valve (See diagram to right.) Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air 
and ventilation air to the grill. Keep ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from 
debris. 

9.

 

Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Install only the type of dust cap on cylinder 
valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Always perform the “leak test“ as below before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use. 

2.

 

Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.

Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks. 

5.

 

Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for 
gas appliance service or your local propane gas supplier. 

 

Checking for Leaks 

 
 
1.

 

Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water. 

2.

 

Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position. 

3.

 

Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection. (See diagram to right.) 

4.

 

Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
