cylinders. Failure to do so could result in problems
relating to overfilling, excessive venting of gas and
to regulator freezing.
Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into or

to the fuel supply system. 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
