LP Tank Exchange
• Many propane retailers offer the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Only
use reputable exchange companies that inspect,
precision fill, test and certify their tanks. Exchange your
tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as
described in the "LP Tank" section of this manual.
• Always keep your new and exchanged LP tanks in the
upright position during use, transportation or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to the grill.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety:
• Leak test must be repeated each time a LP tank is
exchanged or refilled.
• Do not smoke during a leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• The grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-
ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas
or electrical appliances. During the leak test, keep the
grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas
indicated by arrows in figure below. Leaks are indicated
by growing bubbles.
WARNING
If "growing" bubbles appear, do not
use or move the LP tank. Contact a LP
gas supplier or your fire department!
Do not use household cleaning agents. Using Cleaning
agents can result in damage to the gas train
components (valve/hose/regulator).

3. Turn the LP tank OFF by turning the OPD hand wheel
