ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE
FOLLOWED TO PREVENT FIRE, DAMAGE AND / OR INJURY.
WARNING
Connecting the LP Tank - Continued
If there is a question on the identity of your unit and of the type of fuel to be used, please look on
the data plate. Units are factory equipped for use on only one type of fuel. These units cannot be,
and should not be used on other types of fuels. Doing so can cause severe damage to the unit and
the installation area and the added risk of serious injury. Any attempt to operate these smokers on
fuels for which they are not design certified voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
Gas Tank outlet must have Type 1 gas connection termination in order to mate the gas hose provided with
smoker.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied by the manufacturer with the appliance must be used.
Replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufac-
turer.
The regulator/hose assembly should be handled carefully to prevent contamination by foreign objects and
dirt. The assembly should be inspected before use and any dirt or contamination should be wiped off. In
order to insure proper operation, any replacement of the fuel tank regulator assembly has to be done with
parts authorized by the smoker manufacturer.
This unit is not to be utilized with a non-self-contained LP-gas supply system.
Valve/pressure regulators are factory set to the correct operating pressures. No attempts
should be made to adjust these settings!
Checking for Leaks
After all connections are completed, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of liquid soap and water) to all gas car-
rying connections and fittings.
Open tank valve.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or
hear gas, shut off the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective part. Do not use the smoker until all
leaks are corrected.
To Disconnect the LP Tank
1. The knob on the LP tank must be closed. Check knob to ensure it is turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the control knob on the smoker is turned off.
3. To remove the coupling nut and regulator of supply hose from the LP
tank, turn the coupling nut counterclockwise until it is free of the LP tank.
4. An LP cylinder not connected for use, shall not be stored in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
When setting up the smoker and tank, it is recommended to have the tank
and smoker on a line perpendicular to the wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally extended to the maxi-
mum distance so the hose is straight and the tank is as far from the smoker
as it can be.
LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright position only.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose from damage from
either foot or vehicle traffic.
If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylin
-
der and the cylinder should be disconnected from the appliance.
Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is discon
-
nected and removed from the appliance.
