Propane gas cylinders should always be handled,
stored, and transported with extreme caution in a se
-
cured upright position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder
that has been damaged. Never attempt to use or repair
a cylinder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A
cylinder that has been dropped, dented, or otherwise
damaged must be replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in
the passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply
any other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a repu
-
table, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder
is filled by weight, and should never exceed eighty
(80%) percent of its weight limit. If the cylinder is not
completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary
adjustments to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an
overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated
area if the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve
plug tightly installed and must not be stored in any
building, garage, or other area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must
not be stored in the cylinder enclosure.
Always store propane cylinders in a secured upright
position, out of the reach of children.
