Transporting the Cylinder
Handle a full cylinder with care. Gas is under high pressure.
• NEVER store a spare L.P. gas supply cylinder under the grill
body or inside the grill enclosure or in the vicinity of any heat
producing appliance. (Fig. 3)
• NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
Failure to follow this information exactly could result in an
explosion and/or fire causing death or serious injury.

REPRESENTATIVE ILLUSTRATION
Filling and Purging Type 1
L.P. Gas Cylinders
Take these instructions to the L.P. gas dealer.
Purging and filling of L.P. Gas cylinders must be performed
by personnel who have been thoroughly trained in accepted
L.P. Gas industry procedures. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in explosion, fire, serious personal injury, or
death.
• When using cylinder exchange: If your grill is equipped with a
Type 1 cylinder, be sure the exchanged cylinder is a Type 1
cylinder, as a 510 POL cylinder will not fit Type 1 regulator.
• This tank is easily filled with a standard CGA 510 POL filling
connection. (Fig. 4)
• New cylinders must be purged before filling. Tell your L.P. Gas
dealer if your cylinder is new and has not been previously filled.
The L.P. Gas cylinder has a Type 1 cylinder valve with a back-
check module in its outlet which 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 Evacuating Devices for L.P.
Gas Cylinders with Type 1 Cylinder Valves
CAUTION
After purging or filling an L.P. Gas cylinder, DO NOT insert a
POL plug into the valve outlet. Insertion of the plug will
prevent the back-check from closing. Use ONLY the provided
cap and strap attached to the outlet. Close the cylinder valve
knob before returning the cylinder to the customer.
For proper purging procedures refer to:
In the US: Safety Bulletin NPGA# 133, "Purging L.P. Gas
Cylinders", and Safety Bulletin NPGA #130, "Recommended
Procedures for Filling Cylinders".
A. Hose end valve with a bleed port (Fig. 4):
Purging can be accomplished using a hose end valve
containing a bleed port which also allows for evacuation without
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 (Fig. 5):
L.P. Gas cylinder evacuation can be accomplished during each
purging by using a Type 1 connection. The Type 1 valve outlet
has an external 1 5/16" ACME right-hand thread which will
accept this connection.
