WARNING
Don't store spare gas cylinder in or near grill.
Connecting & Disconnecting the Gas Cylinder
LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection & Disconnection
1.
Always place the propane cylinder on the tank brackets located on the right side of the cart.
2.
Always confirm all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before activating the gas supply.
3.
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the
regulator valve, or in the head of the burner and burner ports.
4.
Always connect the gas supply regulators as follows: Insert the nipple of the valve coupling into the
tank valve and tighten the connection collar by turning it clockwise with one hand while holding the
regulator with the other hand. (See diagram to right.)
5.
Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
6.
Always confirm all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before disconnecting the gas supply.
7.
Before disconnecting, be sure that the tank valve is in OFF position.
8.
Always disconnect the gas supply regulators as follows: Loosen the connection collar by turning it
counter-clockwise with one hand while holding the regulator with the other hand and take the nipple
of the valve out of the tank valve (See diagram to right.) Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air and
ventilation air to the grill. Keep ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
9.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Install only the type of dust cap on cylinder
valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1.
Always perform the "leak test" as below before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2.
Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3.
Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4.
Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5.
Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for
gas appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
1.
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2.
Make sure control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3.
Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection. (See diagram to right.)
4.
Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
5.
If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Proceed to step 6.
6.
Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secured.
7.
Retest with solution.
8.
If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
DANGER
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill's burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not light, may
result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING
Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
