1. Main pass thru portion to fill or draw propane is controlled by upper
3 sided knob on top.
2. A small screw on the side of main body is referred to as a 10%
valve which allows air to escape when filling and indicates when
container has reached the 80% capacity
3. Incoming positive seal valve MUST be pushed inward with fill
nozzle or POL fitting to draw vapor out for appliance use
On the bottom/inside is the float which closes when 80% of capacity
has been reached. This permits expansion in tank when temperature
rises. See section on main hose.
At any point a container is disconnected, BE SURE to install the “dust
cap” over the acme valve (if so equipped).
Whenever the container is detached from the propane system, DO
NOT allow the cylinder to move or roll around during transportation to
and from the gas supplier.
A high pressure hose with an ACME fitting with POL fitting must be
completely and tightly installed before propane vapor can be
withdrawn.
Servicing and Filling Propane Containers
Filling a propane container must be done carefully and correctly.
Only a qualified person, properly trained on inspection, filling, and
safety procedures, should fill containers.
A new container must be “purged” before placing into service and
must NEVER BE OVERFILLED. Purging is an operation performed
by your dealer or propane agency to remove any atmospheric air. As
an owner you need not be concerned regarding this procedure
unless you permit the valve to be in OPEN position when empty.
When refilling propane containers, they are generally removed from
propane compartment or tie downs. BE SURE (a) to reinstall
correctly, as you removed these components (b) and test for leaks.
DO NOT use tools to open or close the tank valve. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY to
avoid damage to the valve or handle.
