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       

propane 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 

 

 

Turn off all control knobs and close the main cylinder valve. 

 

 

Place cylinder valve plug or cap snugly in main cylinder valve outlet. 

 

 

Always store propane cylinders in a secure, cool/dry place in the upright position. 

 

 

Never store propane cylinders in a vehicle of any kind and or anywhere the temperatures can reach 

125° F.
