Filling The Lp Gas Cylinder; Hose And Regulator - Brinkmann Gas Grill King 810-3200-G Owner's Manual

FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:

• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
• 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 protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.
• If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has
a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).
INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER ONTO THE GRILL:
1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the
knob clockwise.
2. Loosen the two (2) wing nuts on the tank clamp bracket
to allow the bracket to move up and down freely.
3. Place the cylinder onto the support bracket.
4. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces
the front of the grill.
5. The tank clamp bracket should slide upward and hook
inside one of the openings on the top flange of the tank.
6. Fully tighten both wing nuts to secure the tank.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:

Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:
1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.
NOTE: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.
2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is subject to temperatures above 240°F and
300°F (115°C and 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and throw it away.
A replacement regulator assembly can be purchased by contacting Brinkmann at 1-800-527-0717.
The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.
3. A flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
