Owner’s Manual

The propane gas supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for Propane
Gas Cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Only cylinders with a listed overfill prevention device (OPD)
and marked “propane” may be used. Cylinders with an OPD will have valve handles with three “lobes” (prongs).
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the outdoor cooking gas appliance must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and hose assembly must be those specified by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer. Use only
20-pound cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should not be dropped or handled
roughly. If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be disconnected.
Storage of the appliance indoors is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors and out of the reach of children. Cylinder must not be stored in a building, garage or other
enclosed areas. Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F.
Before connecting, make sure there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, regulator valve or in the head of the
burner and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand tighten firmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator
valve when the grill is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air or ventilation air to the grill. The propane
cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed overfill prevention device (OPD).
DANGER:
A fire causing death or serious injury may occur if the following is not followed exactly:
Never store or use gasoline or other volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill.
Never store a spare propane cylinder in the vicinity of this grill, or in the vicinity of another potential heat source.
Never fill the propane cylinder beyond 80% full.
This grill is designed to connect to a standard 20 lb L.P. cylinder only, please refer to the Step 13 of assembly instructions for the
installation.
WARNING:
Don’t store spare gas cylinder in or near grill.
Connecting Gas Cylinder
LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection
1. Always place the propane cylinder on the tank holder under the cart.
2. Always confirm that 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. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill.
7. Keep ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
8. 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.
DANGER:
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test“ 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.
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 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.
