L.P. GAS CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS
Any L.P. gas-supply cylinder used with
this grill must be approximately 12 inches
diameter and 18 inches high. The maxi-
mum fuel capacity must be 20 pounds of
propane. Full-cylinder weight should be
approximately 38 pounds (43.7 lbs. nominal
water capacity).
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off
valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P gas-cylin-
der-valve outlet. A Type 1 compatible cylin-
der with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a posi-
tive seating connection that does not permit
gas flow until a positive seal has been ob-
tained.
The cylinder must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. It must also include a Collar to
protect the cylinder valve. A safety-reIief
device having direct communication with
the vapor space of cylinder must be provid-
ed. This will expel high-pressure gas if the
cylinder is overfilled or overheated.
All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appli-
ance shall be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for L.P.
gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or the National Stan-
dard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable; and shall be
provided with a listed overfilling-prevention
device. Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply
cylinder.
DANGER: Do not insert any foreign ob-
jects into the valve outlet. You may
damage the back check. A damaged
back check can cause a leak, which
could result in explosion, fire, severe
personal injury, or death.
Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to
fill or repair an L.P. gas-supply cylinder.
Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used
cylinder to be filled. Caution the gas dealer
not to overfill the fuel cylinder.
After filling, have the gas dealer check for
leaks and that the relief valve remains free
to function.
Have the gas dealer weigh cylinder after
filling to ensure that the cylinder is not over-
filled.
DANGER:
a.) Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder
under or near this appliance.
b.) Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80
percent full.
c.) If the information in “(a.)” and “(b.)”
is not followed exactly, a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
TRANSPORTING A FULL CYLINDER
WARNING! Handle a full cylinder with
care. Gas is under high pressure.
You should transport only one cylinder at a
time. Transport the cylinder in an upright
and secure manner with control valve turned
off and the POL plug in place.
Do not transport cylinder in the passenger
compartment of a vehicle.
Do not leave cylinder in direct sunlight or in
a high-heat area such as a closed car trunk.
High-heat areas could cause the relief valve
to vent gas.
Use a cylinder cap on cylinder-valve outlet
during transport and when the cylinder is not
connected to grill. Keep cylinder valve
closed when not in use.
