LPTank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only
those 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 new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
• Place dust cap on 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 valve. Other types of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or
refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep 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.
If "growing" bubbles appear do not use or move the LP tank.
Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
A Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas
train components (valve/hose/regulator) can result.
