Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use
when the safety precautions provided in this manual are
followed.
Failure to follow these safety precautions could result
in a fire or explosion causing property damage or per-
sonal injury.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored,
and transported with extreme caution in a secured upright
position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that
has been damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a cyl-
inder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that
has been dropped, dented, or otherwise damaged must be
replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the
passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any
other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable,
qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is filled by
weight, and should never exceed eighty percent (80%) of its
weight limit. If the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas
dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not
overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area if
the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug
tightly installed and must not be stored in any building, ga-
rage, or other enclosed area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must not
be stored in the cylinder enclosure.
AlwaysstorePropanecylindersin a secured upright position,
out of the reach of children. Figure 1

Connection Requirements
Caution: Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill
designed for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill de-
signed for Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding
different types of gases should be directed to your local
gas supplier.
Installationmust conform tolocal codes or,in the absenceof
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada, installation shall be in accordance with CAN/
CGA-B149.2PropaneInstallationCode,orCAN/CGA-B149.1
Natural Gas Installation Code, and local codes where appli-
cable. Consultyour local gas supplierorpropane gas dealer
for code regulations and recommended procedures.
Warning: Broilmaster®Premium Gas Grills require
Liquid Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overfill
Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly
filled Propane cylinder can be dangerous.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly sup-
plied with your Propane gas grill.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compat-
ible. Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as
external fitting threads.
All Broilmaster®pressure regulators and hose assemblies
require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device
as illustrated. See Figure 1.

B101525-2-0211Page 18
Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly
The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than eleven (11") inches water column. It must be connected to
the Propane gas cylinder’s female valve outlet before the grill can be operated.
Caution: Operation of a Propane gas grill without the pressure regulator and hose assembly will cause gas leaks
which could lead to fire or explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
The pressure regulator’s fitting must remain clean and free of nicks and scratches. A dirty, nicked or scratched fitting can
cause a gas leak, resulting in an explosion or fire. Use only genuine Broilmaster®replacement parts unless otherwise speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
Connecting to Propane Gas / Cylinder Retention Means
ATTENTION: Propane gas cylinders that are acceptable for use with this grill must comply with Cylinder Requirements,
Page 14, and Connection Requirements, Page 15.
Position the cylinder in the opening in the bottom of the cart and secure with the cylinder retaining bracket. See Figure 2.
Attach the pressure regulator to the Propane gas cylinder’s
valve using the plastic handwheel. Tighten in a clockwise
motion to achieve a gas tight seal. See Figure 3.
Caution: Do not use a wrench or any other tool to
tighten. Use of a wrench or other tool will damage the
plastic handwheel.
To disconnect the Propane gas cylinder, turn OFF the cylin-
der’svalveandthegrill’scontrol valve. Remove the regulator
by turning the plastic handwheel counterclockwise.
Caution: Assure hose does not touch the casting
or mounting components.
