USE AND INSTALLATION OF LP GAS CYLINDER (PROPANE TANK)
BEFORE INSTALLING:
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational
Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as
applicable.
BEFORE EVERY USE:
Be sure to inspect the hose for leaks, cuts, wear, abrasion, or damage of any sort before using
this appliance. If any damage is apparent, the hose must be replaced with a new hose specified
by the manufacturer before further use.
LP GAS CYLINDER
The LP (liquid propane) cylinder specifically designed to be used with this unit MUST have a 20
lb. (9.1kg) capacity with a Q.C.C. Type 1 cylinder valve and an overfilling protection device
(OPD). Only use LP cylinders with this type of valve.
LP cylinder valve requirement:
Purchase LP cylinders only with these required measurements:
12” (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7cm) (tall) with 20lb. (9.1kg)
capacity maximum.
Q.C.C. Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or appliance.
Safety relief valve.
UL-listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety
feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only
tanks equipped with this type of valve.
LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of
Canada CAN/CSA – B339, Cylinder, Spheres and
Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods;
and Commission of Dangerous Goods; as
applicable.
The LP cylinder must include a collar to protect
the cylinder valve.
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply
cylinder(s).
The LP cylinder must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and MUST NOT be
stored in a building, garage, shed, breezeway, or any other enclosed space.
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
The cylinder should ALWAYS be put in an upright position.
LP Cylinder Valve

Page 7 of 30 20160927-Ver.1
DANGER
DO NOT connect this appliance to an existing #510 POL cylinder valve with Left hand
threads. The Type 1 valve can be identified with the large external threads on the valve
outlet.
DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding its capacity.
DO NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.
Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill. This could cause pressure to
be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or severe personal
injury, including death.
Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from
obstructions and debris.
DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage to the valve outlet could
result. A damaged valve outlet can cause a leak, possibly resulting in explosions, fire,
severe bodily harm, or death.
WARNING
FOR FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER
Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP cylinder.
DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build up pressure and cause the relief valve to
expel propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark
source or flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
Always use a safety cap when the grill is not connected to a cylinder.
If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has a
Type 1 valve and an over-fill prevention device (OPD).

CONNECTION PROCEDURES
1. Make sure the cylinder valve is closed (turn
valve clockwise until tight).
2. Check the cylinder valve to insure it has the
proper external male threads.
3. Make sure all burner valves are turned OFF.
4. Inspect valve connections, port, and regulator
assembly. Look for any damage or debris.
Remove any debris. Inspect the hose for
damage. Never attempt to use damaged or
obstructed equipment. Contact your local LP
gas dealer for repair.
5. When connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, hand tighten the quick coupling nut
clockwise to a complete stop. Do not use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage
the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
6. Open the cylinder valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks (a Leak Test) before attempting to light the appliance (see P.20-21). If
a leak is found, turn the cylinder valve off and do not use the appliance until your LP gas
dealer can make repairs.
TO DISCONNECT LP CYLINDER:
1. Turn the burner valve off.
2. Turn the cylinder valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
CAUTION
When installing LP cylinders, the pressure regulator and hose supplied by the
manufacturer MUST be used with the appropriate cylinder. Replacement regulators
and hoses need to be specified by the manufacturer of this appliance.
Place the dust cap on the 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.
Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LEAK TEST
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the appliance 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 entire system for leaks following the procedures listed below. Before using
your appliance you must check for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the appliance.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray
bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the LP
cylinder is full.
WARNING
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CONDUCTING LEAK TEST.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If it is evident that there is excessive abrasion, wear or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. The replacement hose must
be specified by the manufacturer.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valve is in the OFF
position then turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the gas
cylinder, LP gas regulator and supply valve
up to and including all connections to the
pipe that go to the burner. The following are
the points where the soap-water mixture is
to be applied. Soap bubbles will appear if a
leak is present.
A. Supply tank (cylinder) weld.
B. Tank valve to cylinder.
C. Tank valve knob.
D. Regulator coupling nut to tank valve.
E. Regulator to regulator coupling nut.
F. Regulator connections to gas supply
hoses.
G. The full length of gas supply hose.
H. Burner valve stem cap.
I. Hose connection to burner valve.
j. The full length of corrugated tube.
