The Liquid Propane cylinder must be fitted with an Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
Remove the plastic valve cover from the Liquid Propane cylinder. Make sure the grill gas hoses do not contact the grease
pan or grill firebox when the Liquid Propane cylinder is placed into the cart.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
Your grill is equipped with gas supply orifices for use only with Liquid Propane gas. It is also equipped with a high capacity
hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane cylinder (18-1/4 inches high, 12-1/4 inches
diameter).
To connect the Liquid Propane gas supply cylinder:
1.
The cylinder valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the valve clockwise until it stops.
2.
Make sure the cylinder valve has the proper type 1 external male thread connections per ANSI Z21.81.
3.
Make sure the burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
4.
Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose for damage.
5.
When connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, use your hand to tighten the nut clockwise until it stops. Use of a wrench
could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous situation
6.
Open the cylinder valve fully by turning the valve counterclockwise.
7.
Before lighting the grill, use a soap and water solution to check all the connections for leaks.
8.
If a leak is found, turn the cylinder valve “OFF” and do not use the grill until a local Liquid Propane dealer can make repairs.
WARNING
Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local Liquid Propane dealer for repair.
DISCONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
1.
Turn the grill burner valves “OFF” and make sure the grill is cool.
2.
Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve “OFF” by turning clockwise until it stops.
3.
Detach the regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
4.
Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type
of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or
plugs may result in leakage of propane.
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must be performed at the
installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at anytime, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down straps
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use
.
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do
not leak. Do not smoke while leak testing. Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the
solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the Liquid Propane cylinder is full.
