PLEASE NOTE
: If you have a new style propane
cylinder that senses a leak in the fuel delivery
system it may automatically reduce the flow of fuel
to the burner head at the tank. You may hear a
slight “click” this is the sound of the safety device
activating. Your tank is doing exactly what it’s
designed to do and that’s to reduce the flow of gas
if it senses a leak in the system. This is done
your protection. Again, check for leaks with a
soapy solution if this occurs. If your safety system
activates turn cylinder valve off and wait five
minutes.
NOTE
: If you do not properly tighten and
engage the hand wheel and connection device a

fr
a 100% safety connection. Do Not use tools to
tighten regulator hand wheel to tank valve.
