Connecting Lp Cylinder And Hose / Regulator To Grill - Brinkmann Patio Grill 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. Place the cylinder onto the bottom shelf/tank support.
3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening does not kink or
damage the supply hose.
4. Fully tighten the cylinder clamp underneath tank holder to
secure 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 to 300°F (115°C to 150°C).
If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and
dispose of properly. A replacement regulator assembly can be
purchased by contacting Brinkmann at 800-527-0717. The cause
of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before
using your grill again.
3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device
is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.
REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE
1. Turn burner control knobs to "OFF," turn off the cylinder valve and disconnect regulator from LP gas
tank. Wait approximately two minutes.
2. Reattach regulator and slowly turn cylinder valve back on. The flow limiting device will now be reset.
