MAKING YOUR LP GAS CYLINDER CONNECTION
Warning: Do not use any other regulator/hose
assembly other than the one supplied with
your grill. If the regulator/hose assembly
needs replacing, use only TEC specified re-
placement parts.
Warning: Always check for leaks after every
LP cylinder change. IMPORTANT :See
“
Leak
Test
”
for proper procedure.
IMPORTANT: LP gas cylinders are equipped with an excess flow valve that is designed
to shut down the flow of gas from the cylinder when a gas leak is detected. To prevent
triggering the excess flow valve, it is important that all of the control knobs are turned off
prior to opening the cylinder valve and that you open the valve slowly.
Procedure:
1.
Make sure that the valve of the LP gas cylinder is fully closed by turning the hand
wheel at the top of the tank clockwise until it stops.
2.
Place the LP cylinder inside the grill cabinet and secure its upright position by strap-
ping it into place with the tank straps that are attached to the interior of the cabinet.
3.
Check to see that all of the burner control knobs are in the
“
OFF
”
position and that the
hood of the grill is open.
4.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve making sure that the nipple is centered
in the valve outlet, then turn the coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do
not over
-
tighten this connection.
5.
To purge the gas line of air, open the valve of the cylinder slowly by turning the hand
wheel at the top of the cylinder counter
-
clockwise until it stops.
6.
Depress the igniter button (see Igniting Your Grill). Push in and turn the burner control
knob of the burner being ignited to its high position. If the burner does not ignite with-
in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to its
“
OFF
”
position. It is likely that the lines were
not completely purged of air. Wait 5 minutes with the hood open and repeat the
above procedure.
7.
After you have successfully purged the gas lines and ignited the burner, test for gas
leaks following the procedure found below.
Important: The regulator hose assembly is connected at the factory before shipping. If the
regulator ever needs to be replaced, the work must be done by a qualified technician.
