All though the flow of gas is stopped when the quick
disconnect system is disconnected as part of it's
safety feature you should always turn LP/Propane
tank main valve off after each use and during
transport of the tank or unit. First screw the brass ½"
fitting of the regulator into the 3/8" brass flare
adapter. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the
direction of the gas flow to the unit and away from
supply. DO NOT use threading compound on the
male end of the ½" NPT to 3/8" flare adapter.
Connect the regulator assembly to the grill unit by
pulling back the coupler sleeve toward the regulator.
Insert the fitting on the grill unit into the coupler.
Release the sleeve and continue pushing the fitting
into the coupler until the sleeve snaps forward
securing the connection. Turn the main tank valve on
and turn the burner control valves on the unit to any
position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the
system to purge before attempting to light the
burners.
Do not forget to place the installer supplied gas
valve in an accessible location.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER
EVERY LP/PROPANE TANK CHANGE.
