Gas  Instructions

Safe handling tips for Liquid Propane
Gas Cylinders

  Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are

gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular
temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure,
inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is
released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

  LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should

be aware of this odor.

  LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect

in low areas and prevent dispersion.

  To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up

“gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources of
LP gas.

 

WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be

filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

 

WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder, make

sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP
cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling
or type 1 valve and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention
Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible
with your barbecue connection.

  Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the

initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

  The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and

stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be
dropped or handled roughly.

  Never store or transport the LP cylinder where

temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand
- for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a
hot day).

Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at
normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply
so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run
out before you refill.

  Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when

full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still
may be gas pressure in the cylinder. 

Always close the

cylinder valve before disconnecting.

 

CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make

sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the
valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded
portion of the valve.

  Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP

cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one
immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder
must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is
reconnected. For example, test each time the LP
cylinder is refilled.

  Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent

hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water.
This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.
