SAFETY HOSE AND REGULATOR
PROPANE MODELS:
Your barbecue is designed to operate on L.P gas at a pressure of
2.74Kpa (11" water column). A regulator preset to this pressure is
supplied with your barbecue.
QCC-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder equipped
with the new QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.
The QCC-1 system incorporates new safety features required by the
Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
• Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made.
• A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between 240 degrees
and 300 degrees F.
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the flow of gas to 10
cubic feet per hour.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder
1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill.
2. Turn all control knobs to the "OFF" position.
3. Turn LP cylinder "OFF" by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full
stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand
tighten the coupling nut. Hold the regulator in a straight line
with LP cylinder valve so as not to cross-thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve,
resulting in some resistance.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable
to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!
DANGER
Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage
the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury,
or death.
Regulator Flow Limiting Device
If you are experiencing any of the following performance issues you may have activated the flow
limiting feature in your regulator:
• Burners not getting hot enough
• Low or incomplete burner flames
• Low gas pressure
• Burners not staying lit
Resetting the Regulator Flow Limiting feature (Propane Barbecues)
1. With all control knobs and the gas source in the "OFF" position, open the barbecue lid.
2. Disconnect the hose and regulator from the propane tank.
3. Turn all barbecue control knobs to the "MAX" (
excess gas in valves and manifold to dissipate.
4. Turn all barbecue control knobs back to the "OFF" position.
5. With the barbecue lid still OPEN, reconnect the hose and regulator to the propane tank. Do not cross
thread the connection. Hand-tighten only.
6. Check all hose connections to ensure that a positive seal has been made.
