Gas Requirements
L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly.
(Note:
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure
regulator and hose assemblies specified by the manufacturer).
This assembly is designed to connect
directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders they can
be purchased separately at an independent dealer.
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas
to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is
heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shutoff valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified,
as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet
connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P.
cylinder must have an overfill protection device, OPD, and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P.
gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/
CAS-B339, “ Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to
ensure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism
internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the
valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow
causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the "OFF" position.
• Store the tank supply system upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• Inspect the regulator and hose assembly before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear
or if the hose is cut, replace it prior to the grill being used again.
• Store cylinder outdoors out of the reach of children
and do not store in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P.
tank.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Install only 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.

WARNING
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near
the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a
fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
