INSTALLATION
Gas Hook-up
LP cart hook-up
Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assem bly for
connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included. The grill system is
leak tested, do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the grill during cart installation.
Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure:
11.0” W.C. Note: all gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for
Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main
valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system
is disconnected as part of of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve
(Fig. 07) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the
tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten
the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HI”
position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge. Turn valves off and wait 5
minutes before attempting to light the burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and
turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening
if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped
with the proper equipment to fill your tank.
LP tank requirements
A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The
cylinder that is used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with
a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system
only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to
use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The
cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet
specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must
be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of the reach of children.
IMPORTANT!
y
Before connecting LP tank to regulator,
check that all grill burners and rotisserie valves
are in the OFF position and open grill hood.
y
Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or
any other flat surface without support.
This will prevent damaging the regulator/
hose assembly by the weight of the grill.
y
Check the hose, regulator and connectors
for damage. Look for cracks, abrasions,
brittleness, holes, dents and nicks.
y
Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the
regulator/hose assembly by yourself. It must be
done by a qualified licensed technician only.
