Flow
Limiting
Valves
on LP Gas Tanks
Your LP gas tank
is equipped
with
a flow limiting
valve that
will restrict
the flow of gas due to a
sudden
change
in pressure.
This can often activate
without
your
knowledge.
You will notice
among
other things
that your grill does not get as hot as it
should,
will take longer
to heat up, or you may not
be able to light all burners.
If you notice
any of the
above,
then
you should
reset the valve and clear
your gas line.
To do this
1.
Ensure
the LP gas tank valve is OFR
2.
Disconnect
the regulator
from the LP gas
tank.
3.
Open all burner
control
knobs
including
the
side burner
to Hi/Light
at the same time.
4.
Close all burner
control
knobs to OFR
5.
Let the LP gas tank stand
for at least 10
minutes.
6.
Reconnect
the regulator
assembly
to the LP
gas tank.
7.
Slowly,
meaning
about
1/4 turn at a time,
turn on the LP gas valve.
8.
Follow
the burner
lighting
procedures
to
light the burner
farthest
away from the gas
source.
9.
The flow limiting
valve should
now be reset.
This flow limiting
valve
is triggered
by sudden
changes
in pressure.
This can be caused by a leak,
faulty
connection
of the regulator
to the LP gas
tank,
turning
on the LP gas tank valve too quickly,
or turning
the burners
off by turning
the LP gas
tank valve off before
turning
the burner
control
knobs to off. Note:
always
turn
off your
burners
using the burner
control
knobs first before
turning
the LP gas tank valve off.
Transportation
and Storage
1.
Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
whenever
the cylinder
is not in use. Only
install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder
valve outlet
that
is provided
with
the
cylinder
of propane
valve.
Other types
of
caps or plugs
may result
in leakage.
2.
Always
transport
your cylinder
in an upright
position.
3.
Do not smoke
when
transporting
your
cylinder.
Check
all connections
for LP Gas Leaks
[]
Never
test for leaks with
a flame.
Prior to
first use, at the beginning
of each season
or every
time your
LP Gas tank
is changed
you must check for gas leaks.
Follow
these three
steps:
[]
Make a soap solution
by mixing
one part
liquid detergent
and one part water
[]
[]
Turn the burner
control
knobs to the OFF
position.
Then turn the gas ON at the source.
Apply the soap solution
to all gas connections
indicated
by the arrows.
See diagram.
If
bubbles
appear
in the soap solution
the
connections
are not properly
sealed.
Check
each fitting
and tighten
or repair
as
necesary.
