with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,

goods. Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for
marking.
• LP cylinder valve must have:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with
regulator or grill.

disconnect. Lift LP tank wire upward off of LP tank collar, then lift
LP tank up and off of support bracket. Install safety cap onto LP
tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.
Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious
personal injury and/or property damage.
LP Tank Valve
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For
Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten
cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when
mixed with air.
LP Cylinder Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP
cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by
temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP
cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This
is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP
dealers.
Safety Cap
Retainer Strap
•
A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must
have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP tank
in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered
patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank inside a vehicle
which may become overheated by the sun.
• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.
DANGER
5
•
Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• If the information in the two points above is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.
• An overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the safety
relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk
of property damage, serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately
get away from the LP cylinder and appliance and
call your fire department.
