Leak Testing - Maxfire Torch Owner's Manual

hose and regulator:
Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:
1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.
Note: The cylinder valve and all grill burner knobs must be turned OFF before any connection is made or
removed .
2. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the
flow limiting device is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.
Note: If your grill will not get hot enough to cook, the flow limiting device may have been activated.
connecting hose and regulator:
1 . Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or
deterioration prior to use . A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas
leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire or severe bodily harm . Do
not use a propane tank with a damaged rubber seal .
2 . Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when cylinder is
at rest in tank holder .
3 . Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise .
4 . Check that the grill's burner control knobs are in the "OFF" positions .
5 . Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear, or
deterioration . If found, replace the assembly before using your grill . Only the manufacturer's supplied
replacement should be used .
6 . Remove the protective plastic cap from the cylinder valve .
7 . Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not contact sharp edges, and does not contact
surfaces that may become hot during use .
8 . Hold regulator and insert the brass nipple into the LP cylinder valve outlet . Ensure that the device is
centered properly .
9 . Turn the large coupling nut clockwise by hand and tighten to a full stop . Take care not to cross thread
the coupling nut onto the cylinder valve . Do not use tools to tighten connection .
Note: If you are unable to make the connection, repeat Steps 7 and 8 .
10 . Leak check all fittings before lighting your grill . See section on "Leak Testing" in this manual .
