sure the nipple is centered in the valve
outlet. The coupling nut connects to the
large outside threads on the valve outlet.
Use care not to cross thread the connec-
tion.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise
until it comes to a full stop. Tighten by
hand only. Do not use tools.
6. CAUTION: In the connection process, the
grill side of the connection will seal on
the back check in the valve, resulting in a
slight resistance. The connection
requires about one-half to three-quarters
additional turn to complete the connec-
tion.
NOTE: If you cannot complete the final con-
nection, disconnect the regulator and
repeat steps 4 through 6. If you are still
unable to complete the connection, do
not use this valve and regulator.

7. Make sure the hose has no kinks or sharp
bends and clears any areas that will be-
come hot during use. Never put strain on
the hose where it joins a fitting. The rub-
ber fuel supply hose must not touch the
bottom grill casting during use.
8. Before lighting grill check all connections
for leaks using a mild soapy-water solu-
tion as directed in the “Leak Testing” sec-
tion of this manual (page 27).
9. Replace the X-brace in the pillar as previ-
ously instructed.
10.Place the aluminum grease pan into the
opening in the heat shield located
beneath the grill bottom. During use the
pan will catch hot grease drippings that
could damage the fuel supply system.
When needed the grease pan may be
replaced with any 3 1/2” x 6” aluminum
loaf pan available at most grocery stores.
