LP TANK INFORMATION
LP TANK USE
24
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas tank under or
near the grill. Never ll the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a
re causing death or serious injury may occur.
WARNING
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overlling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the ow
of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the
cylinder is heated, averting a re or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specied, as
applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet
connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed
area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overll protection device and a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specications for
L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and
Commission.”
When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to ensure
proper gas ow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the
tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may
simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, and restricting gas ow causing low ames.
Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the OFF position.
• Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the appliance.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive
abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the
reach of children and must not be stored in a
building garage or any other enclosed area.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only
install the type of dust cap on the cylinder
valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
• Only a qualied gas supplier should rell the
L.P. tank.
