Connecting Regulator to LP Tank:
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level and stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve.
Hint:
Always use cap and strap supplied with valve. DO NOT use a POL
transport plug. It will defeat the safety feature of the valve.
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple into LP tank valve. Hand tighten the coupling
nut while holding the regulator in a straight line with LP tank valve so as not
to cross thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten a full solid stop. The regulator will
seal on the back-check.
Hint:
An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete.
Note:
If you cannot complete the connection, repeat steps 5 and 6. If you
are still unable to complete the connection, DO NOT use this regulator.
LP Tank Leak Test:
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
• DO NOT smoke or have anything nearby that can easily ignite like lighters
or matches.
• DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Appliance must be leak checked outdoors in a well-ventilated area away
from open flames or sparks. REMOVE any pots or other cookware from
the burner before beginning the test.
Steps:
1. Use a clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solution.
Note
: Use a mild soap and water. DO NOT use household cleaning agents.
Damage to gas train components could result.
2. Brush soapy solution onto all metal seams and entire valve area. Slowly turn
the LP tank valve counterclockwise to the open position. At the first sign
of bubbles around the tank connection, immediately turn the valve off by
turning clockwise. After 10 second, turn the LP tank to the off position
and continue to watch for any bubbles. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE
SHOULD THE VALVE REMAIN IN THE ON POSITION FOR MORE THAN 12
SECONDS.
3. If bubbles are observed at the valve attachment, you may attempt to tighten
the valve, and repeat the test from the beginning after waiting 5 minutes.
4. Always examine the hose for any damage. If damage is observed, do not
attempt to patch the hose. Replacing the hose is the only safe option.
