Step 13
Set LP fuel scale
You will need: LP tank (empty).
Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an
empty tank.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the
tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies. (The
top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.)
One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing front.
The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the
fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated
in Figure 15.
Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is
held up out of the way. Figure 15 (a). Lift and hook the
tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust
the fuel scale setting to E with scale setting (top) wing
nut. Figure 15 (b).
CAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from
tank scale.
After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of
times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.
Step 14
Fill LP tank
Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the
materials, workmanship and performance of the tank.
If the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a
question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's
customer service center. The phone number is on the
warning decal which is permanently attached to the tank.
If the tank manufacturer has not resolved the issue to
your satisfaction, then call Weber-Stephen Products Co.,
Customer Service Center.
To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter to an RV center or
look up gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of
LP gas.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must
be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling.
Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.
WARNING: If you exchange your LP tank, make
sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is
equipped with a quick-disconnect valve and an OPD
(Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP tanks are not
compatible with your barbecue connection.
The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in
an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or
handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures
can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for
example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see
Section "Operating Instructions".
