Valve
Do not use a POL transport
plug (plastic part with external
threads)! It will defeat the
safety feature of the valve.
5.Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP
cylinder valve. Hand-tighten the coupling
nut, holding regulator in a straight line with
LP cylinder valve so as not to cross-thread
the connection.
Nipple has to be
centered into the LP
cylinder valve.
Hold coupling nut and regulator
as shown for proper connection
to LP cylinder valve.
6.Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder
valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to
three-quarters turn is required to complete the
connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator
and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the
connection, do not use this regulator!
DANGER
• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or
safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe
personal injury, or death.
