Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.
Do not use a POL transport
plug (plastic part with
external threads). It will
defeat the safety feature of
the valve.
6. Hold regulator, insert
nipple (B) into LP tank
valve. Hand tighten coupling nut, holding
regulator in a straight line (C) with LP tank
valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
(C) Hold coupling nut and
regulator as shown for proper
connection to LP tank valve
(B) Nipple has to be centered
into the LP tank valve
7. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to
a full solid stop. The regulator will seal on the
back-check feature in LP tank valve, resulting
in some resistance. An additional one-half to
three quarters turn is required to complete
connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use
tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection,
disconnect regulator and repeat steps 6 and 7. If
you are still unable to complete the connection, do
not use this regulator!
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve
outlet. You may damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion,
fire, severe personal injury, or death.
• Never attempt to attach this appliance to the
self-contained LP gas system of a camper or
trailer or motor home.
WARNING

1. Check that all burner control knobs and the
cylinder valve are turned to the “OFF” position.
2. Turn on the fuel supply by rotating the cylinder
valve knob counter-clockwise to full open.
3. DO NOT stand with head, body, or arms over the
grill when lighting.
Lighting The Main Burner
1. Make sure the control knob is in the “OFF”
position.
2. Push and turn the control knob to the “HIGH”
position.
3. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn
control knob to “OFF”, wait 5 minutes to allow
gas to dissipate and repeat lighting procedure.
If burner does not ignite, wait 5 minutes, see
“Match Lighting the Main Burners” section.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise until
it locks in the “OFF” position. This does not turn
off the gas flow from the cylinder.
