Fitting the Hose
Before connecting the "Snap on compact" to a cylinder valve:
1.
Connect regulation rubber hose to the barbed stem on the regulator.
Tip: Lubricate the barbed stem with water to help connect the regulator hose to the regulator.
2.
Use a hose clamp to secure the regulation rubber hose to the regulator.
Connect Gas Cylinder
1.
Make sure control knobs are
2.
The regulator rubber hose and regulator are properly and securely connected.
3.
The regulator valve handle is in the "OFF" position. (Figure C).
4.
Remove the seal cap from the automatic valve on the gas cylinder.
5.
Place regulator onto the automatic valve on the gas cylinder. Push down firmly and vertically. (Figure B)
6.
You should hear a "click" sound when the regulator is securely latched.
W CAUTION: Never attempt to connect regulator when the regulator valve is not in
the "OFF" position.
Operating Regulator
1.
To turn regulator ON, turn the regulator valve handle clockwise into the the "ON" position. (Figure D)
2.
To turn regulator OFF, turn the regulator valve handle counterclockwise into the the "OFF" position.
(Figure C)
Disconnecting Gas Cylinder
1.
Make sure control knobs are
2.
Turn the regulator valve handle to the "OFF" position (Figure C).
3.
Push down the regulator valve handle firmly, then pull the regulator clamp and regulator upwards
(Figure E).
Operation of Excess Flow Check Device
The regulator can be fitted with a safety device designed to automatically limit the gas excape in case of gas leak, which prevents the gas from
reaching the grill. The marking "excess flow" on the regulator identification label means that the regulator is provided with this option.
The "excess flow device" is likely to activate under the following condition.
•
Normal operating conditions.
Consumption of the gas fired appliance is higher that the regulator flow capacity. In such case, you should contact your installer.
•
In case of pipe being torn off, proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect the regulator per the "Disconnect Gas Cylinder" section.
2.
Re-fit the hose correctly.
3.
Connect the regulator per the "Connect Gas Cylinder" section.
4.
Turn the regulator valve to the "ON" position.
5.
Wait a few seconds (20 seconds) before restarting the system.
W CAUTION: If you are unable to turn the regulator handle to the "ON" position, your regulator is not properly
connected. Do not force the handle to open. Remove the regulator and repeat "Connect Gas Cylinder"
section.
W WARNING: The regulator is NEVER to be left on the cylinder without its being connected to the grill, as the
tear-off proof safety is not designed to ensure the operation of the cylinder valve.
To guarantee a proper operation of the excess flow device, the pipe that supplies gas to the consuming appliance shall be no more than 2
meters in length.
