SAFE CONNECTING INSTRUCTIONS
·Before connecting the LPG regulator to the gas cylinder
ensure that the rubber seal on the end of the regulator is in
place and is in good condition.
·The cylinder valve thread is a left hand thread and the
regulator handwheel must be turned in an anti
clockwise direction (when facing the cylinder valve
thread opening) to engage the regulator thread
correctly into the cylinder valve.
·Always make sure that the regulator is fully engaged with
the cylinder valve threads and that the handwheel is tight.
Hand tighten only. Do not use excessive force.
·When connecting the cylinder always check for leaks by
opening the cylinder valve and then apply a soapy water
solution to the joint between the cylinder valve and the
regulator.
·If you find a leak, close the cylinder valve and contact an
authorised LP gas dealer
·When using the heater do not fully open the cylinder valve.
Only open it 1½ turns to prevent the possible jamming of
the cylinder valve in its open position.
· NEVER UNSCREW THE REGULATOR FROM
THE CYLINDER VALVE WHILST THE CYLINDER
VALVE IS OPEN OR IF THE HEATER IS ALIGHT
