LP cylinder requirements:
• Use LP cylinder
only
with these required measurements:
• 12”(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg) capacity maximum.
• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN /CSA-B339, Cylinders
spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods. See LP cylinder collar for marking.
LP cylinder valve must have:
•
Shut-off valve
with a correct cylinder valve output as specified in
current standards. ANS Z21.58-2018 / CSA 1.6-2018 Outdoor Cooking
Gas Appliances.
• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill. The type 1 valve is
easily recognized by the large external thread on the outside of the
valve.
• Safety relief valve with direct connection to the vapour space of the
cylinder.
•
UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD)
. This OPD safety feature is
identified by a unique triangular hand wheel.
Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

ring on the bottom
of the LP tank to secure it to the support assembly.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install 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
Any attempt to connect a regulator to any connectors other than the mating TYPE -1 connector
could result in fires, explosions, injuries, or property damage. Use only LP cylinders equipped
with this type of valve.
DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding 9.1 kg capacity or use a cylinder with any
other type of cylinder valve connection device.
Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.
DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder, empty or full, under or near the
appliance.
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible
gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire
or explosion with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
• Do not store objects or materials inside the barbecue cart enclosure
that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either
the control panel or the burner box.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire
department.
