1. Be sure all appliances (including pilot
lights, if equipped) are off and no gas is
flowing in the system.
2. Be sure the system is leak free. Test the
fittings as outlined later in this section.
3. Open the gas tank valve slowly. DO
NOT SNAP IT OPEN. The sudden
pressure fluctuation could confuse the
excess flow control into thinking that the
system was damaged.
4. Wait at least 15 seconds before lighting
any pilot or appliance.
This procedure will allow the excess flow
control to settle and supply a normal flow of gas.
