DISCONNECTING AND TRANSPORTING PROPANE CYLINDERS FOR REFILLING

Turn off all control knobs and close the main cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator with QCC.

Place cylinder valve plug snugly in the main cylinder valve outlet. Only use the cylinder valve plug
that is provided with the cylinder. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as full ones. Even when the tank is empty, there is
still some gas pressure left in the cylinder.

Always transport and store propane cylinders in a secure, upright position. Never store these pro-
pane tanks on their side, handle them roughly, or drop them.

Never keep propane cylinders (full or empty) in a hot vehicle. Heat can cause the relief valve to
purge propane creating a very dangerous situation.

To fill, take the LP cylinder to a propane gas dealer WARNING: We strongly recommend that your
LP cylinder be filled by an authorized propane dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the
tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

Air must be purged from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer will do this.
STORING PROPANE CYLINDERS

125° F.
