Propane Tank Changing Tips
When attaching the regulator knob to a tank after a tank change,
be sure to fully tighten the regulator knob onto the tank. No need
to use tools, but do turn the knob as far as possible by hand.
When this is done, loosen the knob 1/4 turn, then re-tighten to
maximize seal.
The purpose for this is to fully engage the regulator onto the tank. If
the regulator is not fully engaged, the flow of gas may be restricted
to the point where the trap will show a gas empty code. If this
occurs, press the off button, close the tank valve, and remov e the
regulator from the tank. Re-attach the regulator and try again.
