by your dealer or propane agency to remove any atmospheric air.
As an owner you need not be concerned regarding this procedure
unless you permit the valve to be in OPEN position when empty.
Two overfill devices are built into the valve to prevent overfilling of
the container. First, is the small brass “knob” or “screw” inside of the
valve. This “10% valve” must be open when filling, allowing air to
escape. When the container reaches 80%, at full capacity, vapor
appears. Shut the supply filling valve off. Close the 10% valve plus
the top handle of the main valve. An internal float also limits
propane intake.
When refilling propane containers, they are generally removed from
propane compartment or tie downs. BE SURE to reinstall correctly,
as shown in installation instructions, and test for leaks.
When propane containers are filled to 80% level there is available
space for safe expansion of the vaporized liquid. Should your
container become slightly overfilled, pressure may rise due to hot
sun.
Over full pressure, could cause the overflow valve to “blow-off” and
emit a small quantity of propane vapor. This can be detected by a
strong odor around tanks. Keep open flames away from this area.
It is best to remove the bottle, take it to a safe area, and burn -off
with a torch, the excess pressure by opening the valve slightly and
closing it when discharge has been sufficient, several minutes.
When disconnecting propane containers, you must turn the ACME
fitting in a clockwise direction because left-hand threads are utilized.
When
reconnecting,
turn
connections
counterclockwise.
Connections must be tight, however DO NOT over-tighten.
A warning label has been located near the propane container. This label
reads as follows:
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PER-
CENT OF CAPACITY.
1.
Overfilling the propane container can result in uncon-
trolled gas flow, which can cause fire or explosion.
2.
A properly filled container will contain approximately
80 percent of its volume as propane.
