WARNING
Obey all national, state/provincial/territorial, and
local health and safety rules for propane handling.
If you do not obey, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.
WARNING
When you replace a liquid propane gas cylinder,
do an inspection of all the connections for damage
or missing parts. If you do not obey, there is a risk
of death or serious injury.

obey, there is a risk of death or serious injury.
