Lp Gas - Viking 5 Series Installation Use & Care Instructions

GAS CONNECTIONS
For freestanding units using natural gas, using a metal fl ex
hose is recommended.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your
dealer.

LP GAS

Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/
regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb.
LP cylinder. (Type 1). All fi ttings necessary to attach the
assembly to the grill are included.
LP cylinder with type 1 valve connection
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line
with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it
is set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing
the regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom
of the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the
regulator fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for
propane gas. The LP setting can be further identifi ed by
the large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To
change from one gas to the other simply push the plunger
to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so
it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and push
the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then
replace the cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.

WARNING
Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or
use any other assembly than the one supplied
with your grill.
Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped
regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL
cylinder/valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
Never fi ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information above is not followed exactly, a
fi re causing death or serious injury may occur.
LP Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accor-
dance with the specifi cations for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use
with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the
provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental
movement.
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should
be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See
INDEX: "Leak Test" for further details.)
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the
grill is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area
out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors,
the LP cylinder must be stored outside.
LP Connections
Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible
for the valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soon
as you start connecting the regulator, gas will leak from the
connection.
When exchanging your
cylinder for a refi ll,
exchange only for a
Type 1 20lb cylinder with
an over-fi ll protection
device.
