The maximum size LP tank you should use is
approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-
1/2 inches high.
You must use an OPD gas
tank which offers an Overfill Prevention
Device.
This safety feature prevents the
tank from being overfilled, which can cause
the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill to
malfunction. The LP gas tank must be
constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications of the U.S. Dept. of
Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the LP gas
tank must meet the National Standard of
Canada, Can CSA –B339, Cylinders,
spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods and Commission.
1. The LP gas tank must have a shutoff valve
that connects to a LP gas supply tank valve
outlet, and is compatible with a Type 1 tank
connection device. The LP gas tank must
also have a safety relief device that is directly
connected to the vapor space of the tank.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdraws.
3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill
Never
use your gas grill in a garage, porch,
shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Your gas grill is to be used
outdoors only,
at
least 36 inches from the back and side of
combustible surfaces. Your gas grill should
not be used under overhead combustible
construction. Do not obstruct the flow of
ventilation air around the gas grill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended for use
in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Other important precautions:
•
Never
connect an unregulated LP
gas tank to your grill. The gas
regulator assembly supplied with
your grill is adjusted to have an outlet
pressure of 11” water column (W.C.)
for connection to an LP gas tank.
•
Only use the regulator and the hose
assembly supplied with your gas grill.
Replacement regulators and hose
assemblies must be those specified in
this manual.
•
Have your LP gas tank filled by a
reputable propane gas dealer and
visually inspected and re-qualified at
each filling.
•
Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder
under or near this appliance.
•
Never fill the cylinder past 80% full.
•
Always keep LP gas tanks in an upright
position.
•
Do not store or use gasoline/other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this gas grill.
•
Do not subject the LP gas tank to
excessive heat.
•
Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If
you store your gas grill indoors,
always
disconnect the LP gas tank and store it
safely outside.
•
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only
install the type of dust cap that is
provided with the cylinder valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in a
propane leakage.
•
LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in
a well-ventilated area and out of reach of
children. Disconnected LP gas tanks
must not be stored in a building, garage
or any other enclosed area.
•
Turn off the LP gas tank when grill is not
in use.
•
The regulator and hose assembly must
be inspected before each use of the grill.
If there is abrasion/wear, or if the hose is
cut, it must be replaced prior to use. Call
877-508-3866 for an authorized
replacement hose.
•
Keep the gas regulator hose away from
hot grill surfaces and dripping grease.
Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose.
