Connecting To Gas Supply; Portable Tank Connection - Pit Boss PB4GRT Instructions And User Manual

PORTABLE TANK CONNECTION

From the front of the cart, place foot ring of 20 lb. tank into the hole in the bottom panel. Make sure the tank valve is in OFF
position. Use the tank bolt to secure the tank in a fixed position. Before installing the gas tank, lift up the safety tank ring (Fig.A).
Ensure the tank is completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas tank is not installed properly. Note incorrect
positioning in Fig.B. Use only 20 lb. gas tank.

WARNING: The type I connective coupling (see below) supplied with your grill must not be replaced with a different
type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, fire and severe bodily harm.
The liquid propane tank valve connection supplied with this grill incorporates four important safe guards: Hand assembly, hand
disassembly, excess flow control and temperature-activated shut-off.
SAFEGUARD 1 - HAND ASSEMBLY
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the "OFF" position.
2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve assembly to the tank valve, turn the large plastic nut clockwise until it stops.
3. Gas will not flow unless the plastic nut is completely connected.
4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
SAFEGUARD 2 - HAND DISASSEMBLY
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the "OFF" position.
2. Turn the large plastic nut counterclockwise until it is disassembled.
3. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
SAFEGUARD 3 - EXCESS FLOW CONTROL
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas flow under
normal conditions yet control excess gas flow. Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device providing a low flame
and low temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open, the surge of pressure will
cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds.
