WARNING
t
Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
t
An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to
possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an
intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
t
If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from
the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.
