Liquid Propane Gas Grills; Portable Installation - Ducane 04 Series Owner's Manual

Connection
Type of Gas
Your LP grill is factory built to operate using liquid
propane only. Never attempt to operate your grill on
gases other than the type specified on the grill rating
plate.
The regulator supplied with your liquid propane
gas grill is set for 11" wc and is for use with propane
gas only. This regulator and the factory-supplied hose
assembly must be used when operating your grill with
a 20 lb. LP gas cylinder. If replacement of the hose
and/or regulator becomes necessary, factory-specified
parts are required.
For safety and design reasons, the conversion of a
Ducane grill from operation using LP gas to operation
using natural gas requires the change out of the entire
gas supply system of the grill. If this becomes necessary,
see your dealer for additional information.
Handling Liquid Propane Gas
Propane gas should be handled and stored with
care. We suggest asking your propane gas dealer, when
having your tank filled, for a short course in handling,
care and storage of propane gas tanks. Most dealers will
be glad to instruct you on how to store and handle
your tank. Make sure your tank is never stored inside!
Keep it outside in a well-ventilated area in an upright
position away from your gas grill.

Portable Installation

Complete portability is afforded to the grill head
when mounted on the portable cart. When so installed,
it is necessary to use a 20 lb. capacity liquid propane
tank. Use no other size. The tank retainer is designed
to accommodate only this size tank.

Type of Liquid Propane Tank
For LP gas grills, the LP gas supply cylinder to be
used must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the US
Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339-88 Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous
Goods. This tank must be provided with a shut-off
valve terminating in a liquid propane gas tank valve
outlet. The valve must be equipped with a Type 1
connection complying with 1.5.5 of the latest edition
of ANSI Z21.58.
The liquid propane tank supply system must:
(1) have a safety relief device having direct com-
munication with the vapor space of the tank;
(2) be arranged for vapor withdrawal;
(3) include a collar on the tank to protect the tank
valve; and
(4) be equipped with an overfill protection device
(OPD). The tank should be 12 inches in
diameter and 18-1/2 inches tall.
Installing Liquid Propane Tank
For console base models, lift the liquid propane
tank until the tank is about halfway into the console.
Slip the RING-TITE tank retainer over the tank and
carefully drop the tank into the center hole of the
console. Lock the retainer in place by slipping the
retainer ears into the slots in the console side panels
and pushing down. (See Fig. 10)
