LP Tank Exchange
Many retailers that sell appliances offer you the option of replacing your empty LP tanks through
an exchange service, use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill,
test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tanks
as described in the "LP Tank" section of this manual.
Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage.
Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to appliance.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
Do not smoke during leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Appliance must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated area, away from
open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solution.
Use mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train
components can result.
Brush soapy solution onto all weld seams and entire valve area.
If "growing" bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your file
department.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Tank
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into LP tank valve. Hand tighten coupling nut, holding regulator in a
straight line (C) with LP tank valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full
solid stop. The regulator will seal on the
back-check feature in the LP tank valve, resulting
in some resistance. An additional one-half to
three quarters turn is required to complete
connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use
tools.
NOTE: If you cannot complete connection,
disconnect regulator and repeat step 5 and 6. If you
are still unable to complete the connection, do not
use this regulator!
TF1038-014531 English
Do not use a POL transport
plug (A) (plastic part with
external threads)! It will defeat
the safety feature of the valve.
