CONNECT THE REGULATOR TO THE LP TANK
VERY IMPORTANT:
- THE REGULATOR SHALL NOT BE IN A LOCATION THAT WILL ATTAIN A
TEMPERATURE ABOVE 140℉（60℃）.
- THE REGULATOR SHALL INCORPORATE A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
OR OVERPRESSURE DEVICE.
- THE INLET OF THE PRESSURE REGULATOR SHALL BE FITTED TO
CONNECT THE TYPE I CONNECTION OF THE TANK VALVE PER ANSIZ21.81.
1) Make sure tank valve is in its full off position (turn clockwise to stop).
2) Check tank valve to assure it has proper external male threads (type I
connection per ANSIZ21.81).
3) Make sure all burner knobs are in their off position.
4) Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap
supplied with valve.
5) Inspect valve connection port and regulator assembly. Look for any damage or
debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never attempt to use
damaged or plugged equipment. Contact your local LP gas dealer for repair.
6) When connecting regulator assembly to the valve, hand tighten nut clockwise

GAS CONNECTION

13
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment,
a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to
possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to
the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the
smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING
1) Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner
tie-down straps.
2) Do not smoke while leak testing.
3) Never leak test with an open flame.
4) Make a soap solution with one part liquid detergent and another part water.
Prepare a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the connections. For
the initial leak test, make sure the LP cylinder is full.
5) Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition
sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances, and flammable materials.
6) Keep grill away from open flames and/or sparks while testing.
TO TEST
1) Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2) Make sure the regulator is connected to the LP tank tightly.
3) Completely open LP tank valve by turning counter clockwise. If you hear a “POP”
sound, turn gas off IMMEDIATELY, as it indicates a heavy leak at the connection.
Call your gas dealer or fire department.
4) Check every connection from the LP tank up to and including the connection to
the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or
spraying the soapy solution on the connections.
5) If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY
and retighten connections, Open LP tank valve again, and recheck.
6) If leaks cannot be stopped, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. Call our service
center at (888)-287-0735 for help.

been checked and do not leak.

GRILL LIGHTING INSTRUCTION

16
FLAME CHARACTERISTICS:
1) Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Each burner is adjusted prior to
shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may take subtle necessary
adjustments.
2) Burner flames should be blue and stable with small yellow tips, no excessive
noise, or lifting. If any of these conditions exist call our customer service line. If
the flame is yellow, it indicates insufficient air. If the flame is noisy and tends to
lift away from the burner, it indicates too much air.
3) Small yellow tips are ok.
