Connect Filled Liquid Propane Cylinder; Safe Handling Tips For Liquid Propane Gas Cylinders - Weber Vieluxe 44 Inch Owner's Manual

CONNECT FILLED LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

WARNING: Make sure that the cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning clockwise.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is
the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front. The other tanks
mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. Both types of tanks are illustrated below.
Hook the liquid propane cylinder onto the fuel gauge.
Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock
down. Tighten the wing nut.
Remove plastic dust cover from the fuel cylinder valve.
Screw the regulator coupling onto the cylinder valve(1),
clockwise, or to the right. Hand tighten only.
Note: This is a new type of connection. It tightens
clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the
connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by
hand only.
WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator
coupling and could cause a gas leak.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular
temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is
released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
• To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up "gas-propane" in the phone book for other sources of LP
gas.
• WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
• WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder,
make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your
LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing
coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Over filling
Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders may not
be compatible with your grill connection.
• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before
the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and
stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not
be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where
temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by
hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a
car on a hot day).
Note - A refill will last about 8-10 hours of cooking time
at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane
supply so you can refill before running out. You do not
have to run out before you refill.
