DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR REPAIR REGULATOR. ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS REQUIRE
SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND TOOLS. CONTACT A QUALIFIED PROPANE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. FAILURE

LOSS OF LIFE.
Filling Propane Gas Bottles
Propane systems are equipped with a Type 1 cylinder connection, making them as easy to connect and
disconnect as a garden hose.
The Type 1 connection system uses the Excess Flow Pigtail Hose, distinguished by the large green nylon
swivel nut. The green swivel nut attaches to the outside of the cylinder valve with right hand threads.
Tighten the swivel nut by hand. DO NOT use tools.
The safety features of this system prevent gas from flowing unless the connection is tight and will limit
excessive gas flow. In cases of extreme heat, 240º to 300ºF, at the connection, the connection to the
cylinder will be shut down.
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD
RESULT IN A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
OVERFILLING THE PROPANE CONTAINER CAN RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED PROPANE FLOW, WHICH CAN
CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION. A PROPERLY FILLED CONTAINER CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 80 PERCENT
OF ITS VOLUME AS LIQUID PROPANE.
PROPANE CYLINDERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. PROPANE CYLINDERS
ARE EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICES THAT RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING
PROPANE TO THE ATMOSPHERE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Propane Gas Lines
Although your propane gas system was thoroughly inspected for leaks before delivery, gas fittings can
loosen from vibration during travel. The propane gas system should be inspected at least once a year.
Bleeding Air From Propane Lines
If the tank is completely emptied, it is possible that air has gotten into the gas lines. If this happens, you
will probably find it difficult to light the pilots on the appliances. Air can be forced from the lines by lighting
