2. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE:
Although it is safe when used properly, careless handling of
the propane gas cylinder could result in fire, explosion,
and/or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS, INCREASING
THE ABOVE RISKS. THEREFORE:
•
ALWAYS
use the cylinder cap provided
with your cylinder whenever the cylinder
is not connected to your grill.
(Figure 4)
•
DO NOT
store in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area. Store in a
well-ventilated area.
•
DO NOT
store near any gas burning
apparatus or in any high-heat areas such
as a closed car or trunk.
• Transport and store the cylinder in an upright position -- do not tip on its side.
• Store out of reach of children.
•
DO NOT
smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.
FILLING:
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF AN OPTIONAL L.P. GAS CYLINDER WAS SUPPLIED WITH
YOUR GRILL, IT HAS BEEN SHIPPED EMPTY. THE CYLINDER MUST BE PURGED OF AIR
AND FILLED PRIOR TO USING ON YOUR GRILL. WHEN GETTING YOUR CYLINDER
FILLED:
• Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to fill or repair your cylinder.
•
DO NOT
allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% full.
• Make sure the L.P. gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.
If the above instructions are not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
HOSE & REGULATOR
PROPANE GAS MODELS:
Your grill is designed to operate on L.P. (propane) gas
at a pressure regulated at 11" water column(2.74 kPa).
A regulator preset to this pressure is supplied with the
grill and
MUST
be used.
This regulator is equipped with the Q.C.C. Type 1,
quick connect coupling system, which incorporates
the following safety features: (Figure 5)
• It will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has
been made. (Figure 6)
• It has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of
gas between 240 and 300°F (115 and150°C).
