Portable Liquid Propane Gas Barbecue Grills
WARNING: Do not use natural gas in an appliance designed for L.P. gas. Use only
liquid propane (L.P.) gas in an appliance designed for L.P. gas.
L.P. Gas
Liquid Propane (abbreviated L.P.) gas is stored under high pressure inside a
cylinder and vaporizes when released. It is important that there are no leaky connections
on the grill*s fuel supply system.
The L.P. FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
A L.P. gas grill requires a fuel delivery system made up of a L.P. gas supply
cylinder, a fuel regulator with hose and a gas-control valve.
Valve Orifice
Burner fuel-control valve
Fuel regulator
Fuel supply hose ype 1 coupler
Cylinder control valve
LP Gas cylinder

FUEL REGULATOR AND HOSE
The fuel regulator supplied is equipped with a Type 1 coupling nut. Do not at-
tempt to connect to any other L.P. cylinder not equipped with a mating Type 1 cylinder
valve. This grill is not to be used with any other cylinder connection device.
The fuel regulator and hose assembly with the Type 1 fitting supplied must be
used with the appliance. Do not use a hose and regulator assembly other than the one
supplied with the grill or a manufacturer’s replacement fuel pressure regulator assembly.
The Type 1 connection system has the following features:
1. The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made.
2. The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between 240*F
and 300*F.
3. The system has a flow-limiting device which when activated will limit the flow of gas to
10 cubic feet per hour.
4. The pressure regulator and hose assembly provided is factory set at an outlet pres-
sure of 11 inches water column (.4 lb. per sq. inch).
*WARNING: Any attempt to adjust the regulator is dangerous and could create a situa-
tion causing personal injury or property damage. Consult your L.P. gas dealer if you think
the regulator is not working properly.
FUEL-CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS
Any L.P. gas-supply cylinder used with this grill must be approximately 12 inch-
es in diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity must be 20 pounds of
propane. Full-cylinder weight should be approximately 38 pounds (43.7 lbs. nominal wa-
ter capacity).
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P. gas-
cylinder-valve outlet. 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.
Portable L. P. Gas Barbecue Grills

Portable L.P. Gas Barbecue Grills
DANGER: 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.
The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a collar to pro-
tect 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 overheat-
ed.
All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in accord-
ance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSAB339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transporta-
tion of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed over-
filling-prevention device. Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply cylinder.
If a cylinder is provided by Grillman Grills, it is empty for safety. Allow only a qualified L.P.
gas dealer to fill or repair your 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 to check that the relief valve remains
free to function.
Have the gas dealer weigh cylinder after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not overfilled.
DANGER:
Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire, causing death or serious injury, may occur.
TRANSPORTING A FULL CYLINDER
WARNING! Handle a full cylinder with care. Gas is under high pressure.
Transport the cylinder in an upright and secure manner with control valve turned off and
the POL plug in place.
Do not transport 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.
Do not store cylinder in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Store outdoors in a
well ventilated area, away from people and out of the reach of children.
Use a cylinder cap on cylinder-valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not
connected to grill. Keep cylinder valve closed when not in use.

Ta e These Instructions to the L.P. Gas Dealer
When using a cylinder exchange, be sure the exchanged cylinder is a
Type 1 cylinder; a 51 POL cylinder will not fit a Type 1 regulator.
FILLING AND PURGING TYPE 1 L.P. GAS CYLINDERS
DANGER! Purging and filling of L.P. Gas cylinders must be per-
formed by personnel who have been thoroughly trained in accepted L.P.
gas industry procedures. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
IMPORTANT: Purge new cylinders before filling. This tank is easily filled
with a standard CGA 510 POL filling connection.
Filling a Type 1 Cylinder Valve
Example A: shows a CGA-510 POL fitting.
Example B: shows using a Type 1 POE fitting.

Ta e These Instructions to the L.P. Gas Dealer
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.
PURGING AND EVACUATION DEVICES FOR L.P. GAS CYLINDER
WITH TYPE 1 CYLINDER VALVES
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 with-
out 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 ac-
complished during each purging by using a Type 1 connection. The Type 1
valve outlet has a 1 5/16” external ACME right-hand thread that will accept this
connection.
CAUTION: After purging or filling a L.P. gas cylinder, do not insert a POE plug
into the valve outlet. Insertion of this plug will prevent the back-check from clos-
ing. Use ONLY the provided cap and strap attached to the outlet. Close the cyl-
inder valve knob before returning the cylinder to the customer.
For proper purging procedures in the U.S.A. refer to: Safety Bulletin
NPGA #133, “Purging L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin NPGA #130,
“Recommended Procedures for Filling Cylinders.”
DANGER: Do not fill a L.P. gas cylinder beyond 80% full. If this
information is not followed exactly, a fire, causing serious injury or death,
may occur.

Installing a L.P. Gas Cylinder
WARNING: Connect the L.P. cylinder to the grill outdoors only.
Fill the cylinder before connecting. Read and follow all directions on the cylinder and
fuel hose safety tags.
On Yard Grills: Hang the L.P. Gas Cylinder from the hook extending from the
vent cover on the right side of the grill. Be sure the L.P. Gas Cylinder rests against the
sway bar on the grill leg.
On Pig Cooker:
Place bottles in the base rings, located on the tongue. Make certain that both bottles’
valves are positioned to allow connection to the Type 1 Fuel Regulator. Position Retain-
ing bar through the holes in both Gas Cylinder collars and tighten retaining bar using
hand nut.
