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 OFF.
2
Disconnect
the regulator
from the LP gas tank.
3
Open all burner control
knobs including
the side
burner
to Hi at the same time.
4
Close all burner
control
knobs to OFF.
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 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 valve.
Other
types
of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of
propane.
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 necessary.
