IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR NEW TYPE-1
GRILL CONNECTION
Read all grill and related product literature before connecting or using
your grill, and please read the following information completely before
attempting to connect your grill to a propane cylinder.
Keep these instructions in a safe place. You may need to refer to them
when connecting other cylinders after filling.
Your new grill regulator is equipped with a coupling nut . Do not attempt
to connect any propane cylinder not equipped with a mating Type-1
cylinder valve.
Figure 1
Connecting the Regulator to the Valve (Figure 1)
This Type-1 cylinder valve contains a backcheck which is designed to
prevent propane from flowing until the valve is properly connecting to
a regulator.
When connecting the regulator to the Type-1 cylinder valve, be sure
the pressure relief valve is directed away from the front of the grill and
away from any building. If the pressure relief valve should open, the
propane will then be directed where it is likely to do the least harm if
ignited.
WARNING: Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve
outlet. You may damage the backcheck. A damaged backcheck
can be the source of a leak. Leaking propane may result in
explosion, fire, personal injury or death.
Regulator Coupling Nut
The coupling nut connects to the large outside threads on the valve
outlet. To complete the connection, follow the steps below.
1. Be sure all grill burner knobs, side burner knob and rotisserie
burner knob are in the OFF position.
2. Make sure the cylinder valve handwheel is in the closed position.
Turn clockwise (left to right) to a full stop.
3. Remove the protective caps from the cylinder valve and coupling
nut.
4. Turn the coupling nut clockwise (left to right), to tighten to a full
stop. Be sure the coupling nut is not cross-threaded.
