OUTDOOR GAS CHARBROILER OPERATION MANUAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing Tank Caddy:
• Our unit is equipped with a tank caddy. It has to
be placed underneath the broiler and secured in
place by (2) hooks provided (see fig. “A-3”). The
front of the caddy will be raised off the ground to
prevent possible movement and putting strain on
connection hoses.
• LP gas cylinder(s) have to be securely mounted to
the caddy with thumb screws. They will only work
in the horizontal position.

Leak Testing:
The plumbing must now be tested for gas leaks before
use. Turn all propane tank, burner control and carryover
control valves to the OFF position. Wet all gas line
fittings and connectors with a solution of soapy water
(or commercial leak disclosing liquid). Slowly open the
propane tank valve(s) and look for bubbles of foam at
any of the joints of the system. If a leak is found, close
the tank valves immediately and call your local dealer or
the manufacturer. If the gas connections are leak-free,
the unit is ready to use. Follow the lighting instructions.
Note: Although each 30” x 30” cooking area of the
LPAGA will deliver 80k BTU’s, it is not intended that
the unit be routinely operated “full tilt”. This extra high
capacity was intended to allow the cook to load the unit
with a full complement of product and still have enough
heat to maintain cooking time. If the cook is running the
LPAGA at the full 80k BTU’s with a light food load, it is
using propane at a rate that is not needed. The LPAGA
should the “throttled down” to match the food load on
the grill.
Propane dealer will not fill a 40 lb cylinder because
it does not have the correct valve with an OPD
installed:
OPD stands for “Overfill Protection Device”. This is
a safety device that is now required on all 4 through
40 lb propane cylinders to prevent them from being
overfilled. Propane filling stations know that the new 20
lb cylinders with OPD’s have a triangular valve handle
instead of the old round valve handle. If you bring a
propane cylinder to a filling station with a round handle
on the Type I valve, they will not fill it because they know
it does not have the required OPD.
Confusion is caused by the Type I connectors found
on the 40 lb cylinders. On the 40 lb cylinders this is
a special service valve only ( outgoing gas only). It
has an internal one-way valve that will only allow gas
out of the cylinder and not into it. The 40 lb cylinder
cannot be filled through this valve because the one-
way valve will not allow the propane into the cylinder.
Since this valve cannot be used to fill the cylinder, it
does not need an OPD. This valve cannot have the
triangular handle because is does not have the OPD.
The filling connection on a 40 lb cylinder is a plain
male thread without a manual valve on it. The filling
valve opens automatically when the filling connector is
properly attached to the cylinder. The OPD is built into
this automatic valve because this is where the propane
enters the cylinder. All of our 40 lb cylinders are clearly
marked on the cylinder label to identify that they have
the required OPD. Larger propane facilities are very
familiar with the fill valve on the 40 lb cylinder and will
fill them without a problem.
