CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
To connect the liquid propane gas supply cylinder:
The cylinder valve should be in the "OFF" position. If not, turn the valve clockwise until it stops.
Make sure the cylinder valve has the proper type-1 external male thread connections per ANSI Z21.81.
Make sure the burner valves are in the "OFF" position.
Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose for
damage.
When connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, use your hand to tighten the nut clockwise until it
stops. Use of a wrench could damage the quick-coupling nut and result in a hazardous situation
Open the cylinder valve fully by turning the valve counterclockwise.
Before lighting the grill, use a soap and water solution to check all the connections for leaks.
If a leak is found, turn the cylinder valve "OFF" and do not use the grill until a local liquid propane dealer can
make repairs.
Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local liquid propane dealer for repair.
DISCONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
Turn the grill burner valves "OFF" and make sure the grill is cool.
Turn the liquid propane cylinder valve "OFF" by turning clockwise until it stops.
Detach the regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick-coupling nut counterclockwise.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak-tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must be
performed at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the
procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including any burner tie-down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Do not use the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak. Do not smoke while leak-testing. Never leak-test with an open flame.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to
apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the liquid propane cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valve off.
2. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply "OFF" and tighten leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back "ON" and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply "OFF" and contact our
Customer Service Department at U.S.A:1-800-913-8999, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., PST, Monday-Friday.
6. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, it must be replaced prior to the outdoor cooking gas
appliance being put into operation.
7. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitutions will void
the warranty.
WARNING
Do not store grill indoors unless the cylinder is disconnected. Do not store cylinder in a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area, and keep out of reach of children at all times.
