Connecting the L.P. Gas Cylinder
1. The top knob on the supply cylinder must
be closed. See that the top cylinder knob
is turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the grill burner knobs are
turned off.
3. Remove the protective caps from the cylin-
der valve and coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert
the nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the
nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The
coupling nut connects to the large outside
threads on the valve outlet. Use care not
to cross thread the connection.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise
until it comes to a full stop. Tighten by
hand only. Do not use tools.
6.
CAUTION:
In the connection process, the
grill side of the connection will seal on the
back check in the valve, resulting in a
slight resistance. The connection requires
about one-half to three-quarters additional
turn to complete the connection.
NOTE: If you cannot complete the final
connection, disconnect the regulator and
repeat steps 4 through 6. If you are still
unable to complete the connection do not
use this valve and regulator.
7. Make sure the hose has no kinks or sharp
bends and clears any area that will be-
come hot during use. Never put strain on
the hose where it joins a fitting. The rub-
ber fuel supply hose must not touch the
bottom grill casting during use.
8. Before lighting grill, check all connections
for leaks using mild soapy-water solution.
9. Make sure the Drip Pan is in place under-
neath the grill tub. During use the pan will
catch hot grease drippings that could
damage the fuel supply system.
