USE AND CARE
LP Cylinder Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder
through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that
inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders.
Exchange your cylinder
only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the “LP
Cylinder” section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position during use,
transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE connecting to grill.
• Place safety cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only
install the type of safety 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.
LP Cylinder Leak Test
For your safety
•
Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged or
refilled.
•
Do not smoke during leak test.
•
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
•
Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away
from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances.
During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
•
Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution.
Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below.
•
Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train
components can result.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder
1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill. (Refer to assembly section.)
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a
full stop .
4. Remove the safety cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap if supplied
with valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand-tighten the coupling
nut, holding regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder valve so as not to cross-
thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal
on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in some resistance.
An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete the
connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6.
If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!
If “growing” bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP cylinder. Contact
an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or
safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak.

injury, or death.
WARNING
Do not use a POL transport
plug (plastic part with external
threads)! It will defeat the
safety feature of the valve.
