-
The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas in the event of a fire.
-
The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per
hour.

NEVER
use side burner without leak testing this connection.
LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection
1.
The tank valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the knob
clockwise until it stops.
2.
Make sure all burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
3.
Always connect the gas supply regulator as follows:
Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the coupling nut
clockwise until the coupler tightens up (see picture). Do not over-tighten the
coupler. Turn the main tank valve on, and turn the burner control valves on
the unit to the “HIGH” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the
system to purge before attempting to light the burners.
Pre-Operation Leak Testing
1.
Do not insert any tool into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
2.
If a leak is detected at any time, or you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close the tank’s shut-off valve
(gas supply from LP tank to the Side burner) and call LP gas supplier or your fire department!
3.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the
regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the side burner any time a part of the gas system is
replaced.
Never attempt to attach this side burner to the self-contained LP gas system. Do not use the side burner until
leak testing has been completed.
Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator
1. NEVER smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an
open flame.
3. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid
soap and water.
4. Turn all side burner control knobs to OFF.
5. Ensure that the connections from the regulator to the
side burner and tank are tight and secure (see
picture).
6. Completely open LP tank valve by turning cylinder
