REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF LP GAS TANK
Never store LP gas tank indoors. When grill is stored indoors, shut tank valve o
ff
and disconnect tank from grill. Tank must be stored outdoors
in well-ventilated area, away from and out of the reach of children. Loosen coupling nut located on tank regulator and tank valve by turning
counterclockwise using hand only - do not use tools. Next loosen tank securing screws at foot of tank along with frame-assembly cross member
and remove tank. Install safety cap over tank valve coupling.
WARNING:
NEVER store tank in enclosed area. Safety relief valve on tank could activate releasing gas
and causing a
fi
re. All spare tanks must have safety caps installed in tank outlet. Spare
tanks should
never be stored near the grill.
CONNECTING THE REGULATOR TO THE TANK VALVE
Please refer to the diagram in Figure 1 and complete the following steps:
1
Be sure both grill burner valves are in the O
ff
position.
2
Make sure the gas tank valve hand wheel is in the closed position. Turn clockwise (left to right) to
a
full stop.
3
Remove the protective cap from the gas tank valve.
4
Hold regulator in one hand and position the plastic coupling nut on the tank valve outlet threads
using care to engage the center of the coupling nut to the center of the tank valve outlet. When
completing this procedure, take care not to cross-thread the connection.
5
Turn the coupling nut clockwise (left to right) and tighten to a full stop.
Notice:
In the connection process, the regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the tank valve resulting in a slight
resistance. The connection requires about one-half to three-quarters additional turn to complete the connection. Tighten by hand
only - do not use tools. If you cannot make the connection, disconnect the regulator and repeat steps 4 and 5.
WARNING:
Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the back-check valve. A damaged
back-check module can leak propane. Leaking propane may result in explosion,
fi
re, severe personal injury, or death.
