WARNING
In the connection process, make sure:
• the regulator inlet connector mates with the cylinder valve outlet properly, safely and firmly, and;
• the LP gas hose does not come in contact or remain in contact with the burner assembly.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
After all connections are made, check all connections and fittings on the LP gas tank valve,
gas hose and regulator for leaks with a water and soap solution.
To prevent fire or explosion while testing for a leak:
• Always perform a leak test prior to lighting the fire pit.
• Do not smoke while testing for a leak.
• Always perform leak tests outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use any source of flame while testing for leaks.
• Do not use the fire pit until any and all leaks are corrected.
• If you are unable to correct a leak, disconnect the propane supply and call a gas
appliance service dealer.
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the outlet of the gas cylinder, inlet of the
regulator valve or in the outlet of the burner and burner ports. Keep the propane cylinder valve closed
and disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the fire pit is not in use.
