Valve/pressure regulators are factory set to
the correct operating pressures. NO attempts
should be made to adjust these settings.
Connecting the LP Gas Cylinder:
1. The valve on the LP cylinder must be closed. See
that the knob is turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the control knob on the smoker is
turned OFF.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP Cylinder
valve and coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the
nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the nipple
is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut
connects to the large outside threads on the
valve outlet, Use care - DO NOT cross thread the
connection.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it
comes to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand only.
DO NOT USE TOOLS.
CAUTION:
I
n the connection process, the
regulator side of the connection will seal on
the back check in the valve, resulting in a slight
resistance. The connection requires about one-
half (1/2) to three-quarters (3/4) additional turn to
complete the connection.
When setting up the smoker and cylinder, it is
recommended to have the cylinder and the smoker
on a line perpendicular to the wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally
extended to the maximum distance so that the hose
is straight and the cylinder is as far from the smoker
as it can be. LP cylinders are intended for operation
in the upright position only.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose
from damage by either foot or vehicle traffic.
If the smoker is not in use, the gas must be turned
off at the LP cylinder and the cylinder should be
disconnected from the smoker and stored away
from the smoker.
Storage of the smoker indoors is only permissible if
the LP cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the smoker.
LP cylinder must be stored outdoors out of reach
of children and pets, and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Leak Testing (Check for gas leaks)
After all connections are completed, check all connections
and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
* Mix dish soap with water (about 3:1 mix ratio)
* With all valves closed, apply the soap solution to all
gas flow connections and fittings.
* Open LP Cylinder valve about 1 -1/2 turn.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution
indicates a gas leak.
If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut
off the valve and repair the leak or replace the
defective part.
DO NOT USE THE SMOKER UNTIL
ALL LEAKS ARE CORRECTED.
