Connecting the Gas Cylinder
Always place the propane cylinder on the tank brackets located on
the right side of the cart. Always confirm that all burner control
knobs are in the OFF position before activating the gas supply.
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. Always connect the gas supply
regulator 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)
Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
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.
Place dust cap on cylinder calve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install 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.
Note: Before starting the grill, check for leaks. Make sure the regulator valve is securely
fastened to the valve assembly tube and the cylinder.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the "leak test" as described below before lighting the grill or 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.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect
the propane supply. Call a gas appliance service shop or your local propane gas supplier.
To Perform a Leak Test:
Make 2-3 oz. (0-90 ml) of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts
water in a spray bottle.
NOTE: Make sure control knobs are off.
Spray solution at the tank valve to regulator connection.
Inspect the solution at the connection looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the connection is
secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Check the regulator connection as follows:
Disconnect regulator from the tank and reconnect, making sure the connection is secure.
Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
