Connecting The Lp Tank - Weston 41-0701-W Manual

CONNECTING THE LP TANK

WARNING!
1. The knob on the LP tank must be closed. See that the knob is turned
clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the Control Knob on the Smoker is turned off.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve and coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the nipple into the valve outlet.
Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut connects to the
large outside threads on the valve outlet. Use care – do not cross-thread the
connection.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it comes to a full stop.
Firmly tighten by hand only. DO NOT use tools.
CAUTION: In the gas connection process, when threading the HVP Hose to
the LP tank valve some resistance will be encountered. This is normal when
seating the valve. Seating the valve requires about one-half to three-quarters
additional turns to complete the connection.
. Any fuel supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for propane cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) CFR 49, or CAN/CSA B339. The appliance is to be used only with the
20 pound, vertical standing vapor withdrawal type tank.
(A) Do not store tanks under or near the Smoker.
(B) Never fill tanks more than 80% full.
If instruction A and B above are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
. This Smoker is designed to operate on LP (Liquefied Propane) gas only.
. The 20 lb LP cylinder used with this Smoker must conform to the following requirements: Diameter- 12" (30.5cm),
Height- 18" (45.7cm), with a Maximum Capacity of 20 pounds.
. The gas cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
. The instructions stated on gas cylinder tanks have to be followed when filling or transporting tanks. Failure to do so
could result in problems relating to overfilling, excessive venting release of gas and to regulator freezing.
. Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into or onto tank connection when it is not attached to the fuel supply system.
Use the protective cap provided.
Cylinders must be filled before initial use. All handling, transport, filling and storage of LP gas cylinders must be in
accordance with NFPA 58 Storage and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gases, or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation
Code. Cylinders must be suitably tied down during transport. Do not place any other items on top of cylinders at any
time. Cylinders are not to be exposed to excessive temperatures or high heat.
If there is a question on the identity of your unit and of the type of fuel to be used, please look on the data plate. Units
are factory equipped for use on only one type of fuel. These units cannot be, and should not be used on other type of
fuels. Doing so can cause severe damage to the unit and the installation area and the added risk of serious injury. Any
attempt to operate these smokers on fuels for which they are not design certified voids the manufacturer's warranty.
Gas tank outlet must have Type 1 gas connection terminal in order to mate with gas hose provided with Smoker.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied by the manufacturer with the appliance must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufacturer.
The regulator/hose assembly should be handled carefully to prevent contamination by foreign objects and dirt. The
assembly should be inspected before use and any dirt or contamination should be wiped off. In order to insure proper
operation, any replacement of the fuel tank regulator assembly has to be done with parts authorized by the smoker
manufacturer.
This unit is not to be utilized with a non-self-contained LP-gas supply system.
WARNING: Valve/pressure regulators are factory set to the correct operating pressures. No attempts
should be made to adjust these settings!
