GAS INSTRUCTIONS
FILL LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
To fi ll, take the liquid propane cylinder and fi ller adapter to an RV center or
look up gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of liquid propane
gas.
WARNING: We recommend that your liquid propane
cylinder be fi lled at an authorized liquid propane gas
dealer by a qualifi ed attendant, who fi lls the tank by
weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
The liquid propane cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an
upright position, and should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder where temperatures can
reach 125°F / 51°C (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the
liquid propane cylinder in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of liquid propane cylinders, see Section
“Operating”.
IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION
Failure to follow these DANGER statements exactly may result in a fi re
causing death or serious injury.
DANGER
NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near this
barbecue.
NEVER fi ll the tank beyond 80% full.
WARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a
well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
CHECK THAT ALL BURNER VALVES ARE OFF
Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you should check to be sure that
they are turned OFF. Check by pushing down and turning clockwise. If they
do not turn, they are off. Proceed to the next step. If they do turn,
continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off. Proceed to
the next step.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is
closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.
DANGER
Do not use an open fl ame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
fl ames in the area while you check for leaks.
Sparks or fl ames will result in a fi re or
explosion which can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and damage to property.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks have differing
top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the
valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front. The other tanks
mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks
are illustrated below.
You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to
apply it.
1)
Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side
or rear of the Weber
®
gas barbecue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the
fuel gauge.
2)
Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten
the wing nut.
TEST CONNECTIONS
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance
with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of AS5601/
AG601.
DANGER
Do not use an open fl ame to check for gas leaks. Be
sure there are no sparks or open fl ames in the area
while you check for gas leaks. This will result in a fi re
or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or
death, and damage to property.
