GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Connecting & Disconnecting to

Familiarise yourself with the general information
and safety guidelines located at the front of this
manual.
Check:
1. The cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be
heard when shaken.
2. The burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position
Connecting:
1. Ensure cylinder valve is in its full off position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder
connection or the hose. NEVER attempt to use
damaged equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder
tighten the nut to a positive stop by hand
or spanner.
4. Open cylinder valve fully. If a leak can be heard
at either end of the hose turn cylinder off and
tighten joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-testing
and use a soapy water solution to check the

need to be re-tightened.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Burner Operation &
Ignition System Check
1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position push and
turn the control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’.
Check for sparking to the burners.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition
point, check for any loose leads at either the
electrode or the ignition pack.
3. Push and turn anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’ the
far right control knob, subsequent burners will
crosslight from right to left.
4. The side burner cover must be open before
pushing and turning the control knob
anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’.
5. If the burner fails to light after several attempts
turn off gas supply at cylinder and inspect for
obstructions to gas flow.
If re-ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue
is still hot, you must wait for a minimum of
5 minutes before commencing to re-ignite
(this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
