OUTDOOR GAS CHARBROILER OPERATION MANUAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting The Gas Lines To The Propane Tanks
• New propane tanks are shipped empty with no
pressure and must be purged of air and filled
with propane per NPGA (National Propane Gas
Association)
• Install the green plastic connector onto the
external thread on the tank valve. Turn it
clockwise and hand tighten. The plastic nut is
designed for easy grip and allows user friendly,
wrench-less connection. It is thermally sensitive
and will shut off the flow of gas if subjected to
temperatures between 240°F and 300°F. Type I
(Q.C.C. 1) connection system will not allow gas
to flow until a positive seal has been made (See
Figure “A-3”).
• Make sure the vent on the regulator is facing
down (toward the ground) so that water and other
liquids do not get into the regulator.
The 40-lb LP cylinders have a Type I ACME
service valve with a one-way valve that only
allows propane to flow out of the valve. The 40-lb
cylinder cannot be filled through this Type I ACME
service valve. The 40-lb cylinders have a 1-3/4”
ACME male fill connection with a built in OPD to
protect the cylinder from being overfilled. Be sure
that your local propane supplier has the correct
adapter to fill through a 1-3/4” ACME male filling
connector.
40-lb cylinders must be used in the horizontal
(laying down) position.
