Have the gas dealer weigh the cylinder
after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not
overfilled.
TRANSPORTING A FULL CYLINDER
You should transport only one cylinder at a
time. Transport the cylinder in an upright and
secure manner with the control valve turned
off and the POL dust cap in place.
Do not transport a cylinder in the passenger
compartment of a vehicle.
Do not leave cylinder in direct sunlight or in
a high-heat area such as a closed car trunk.
High-heat areas could cause the relief valve
to vent gas.
Use a cylinder cap on the cylinder-valve
outlet during transport and when the cylinder
is not connected to the grill. Keep cylinder
valve closed when not in use.
The L.P. gas cylinder must have a shut-off
valve
A Type 1 compatible
cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a
positive seating connection that does not
permit gas flow until a positive seal has been
obtained.
The cylinder must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. It must also include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve. A safety-relief
device having direct communication with the
vapor space of cylinder must be provided.
This will expel high-pressure gas if the
cylinder is overfilled or overheated.
All L.P. gas cylinders used with this
appliance shall be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for L.P.
gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable; and shall be
provided with a listed overfilling-prevention
device. Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply
cylinder.
Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used
cylinder to be filled. Caution the gas dealer
not to overfill the fuel cylinder.
After filling, have the gas dealer check for
leaks and that the relief valve remains free to
function.
Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to
fill or repair an L.P. gas-supply cylinder.
terminating in a Type 1 L.P. gas-
cylinder-valve outlet.
a.) Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder
under or near this appliance.
b.) Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80
percent full.
c.) If the information in (a.) and (b.) Is not
followed exactly, a fire causing serious
injury or death may occur.
Handle a full cylinder with care.
Gas is under high pressure.
DANGER:
WARNING:
Do not insert any foreign objects
into the valve outlet. You may damage the
back check, A damaged back check can
cause a leak, which could result in explosion,
fire, severe personal injury or death.
DANGER:

8
The L.P. gas cylinder has a Type 1 cylinder
valve with a back-check module in its outlet
that will not permit gas to flow until an
evacuation device is installed. To purge the
L.P. gas cylinder, the back-check module must
be opened with an evacuation device.
A. Hose-end valve with a bleed port: Purging
can be accomplished using a hose-end valve
containing a bleed port, which also allows for
evacuation without the use of an adapter.
B. Hose-end valve without a bleed port:
When a hose-end valve does not have a bleed
port, a separate device must be used for
evacuation.
C. Purging using a Type 1 connection: L.P.
gas cylinder evacuation can be accomplished
during each purging by using a Type 1
connection. The Type 1 valve outlet has 1-
5/16” external ACME right-hand thread that will
accept this connection.
After purging or filling an L.P. gas
cylinder, do not insert a POL plug into the
valve outlet. Insertion of this plug will prevent
the back-check from closing. Use ONLY the
provided cap and strap attached to the outlet.
Close the cylinder valve knob before returning
the cylinder to the customer.
For proper purging procedures in the USA,
refer to: Safety Bulletin NPGA # 133, “Purging
L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin NPGA
#130, “Recommended Procedures for Filling
Cylinders.”
