3. Check that the burner control knobs are in the “Off” position.
4. Remove any debris and inspect the valve connections, port,
and gas pressure regulator/hose assembly for damage.
NOTE: Always keep the LP cylinder at 90° (upright)
orientation to provide vapor withdraw.
5. Using your hand, turn the gas pressure regulator/hose
assembly clockwise to connect to the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank as

coupling nut.
Make sure that the cylinder valve connection device properly
mates with the connection device attached to the inlet of the
pressure regulator.

counterclockwise. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through
the gas line.

grill. Contact a qualified gas technican to make repairs.
