OPERATION
1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP
cylinder without the regulator
provided, and never to an
unregulated gas supply. The gas
regulator supplied with the appliance
must be used.
2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder
to regulator connection when
connecting the LP gas cylinder to the
appliance. See “leak testing”.
3. Do not operate the appliance if the
smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish
all flame and determine the source of
LP gas before proceeding. Do not
ignite the appliance until the LP gas
leak has been found and sealed.
4. Always shut off the LP gas cylinder
valve when the appliance is not in use.
OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER
Effective January 1, 1998, the standard
for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI
Z21.58/CAN CGA-1.6, requires that
appliances are to be used with cylinders
equipped with an Overfill Prevention
Device (OPD).
The OPD is designed to reduce the
potential for the overfilling of propane
cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of
relief valve discharges of raw propane.
The new OPD causes a slower purge /
fill operation. Some consumers have
been advised by filling stations that these
cylinders are “defective”. This is not a
defect. Some propane filling stations
may not be aware of this new device and
its effects on the purge / fill operation.
IDENTIFICATION
To identify these cylinders, the new OPD
handwheel has been standardized to the
shape shown.
HOSE AND REGULATOR
1. The QCC coupling contains a magnetic
Flow Limiting Device which will limit
the flow of gas should there be a leak
between the regulator and the
appliance valve. This device will
activate if the cylinder valve is opened
while the appliance valves are open.
Be sure the appliance valves are
off before the cylinder valve is
opened to prevent accidental
activation.
2. The QCC coupling incorporates a heat
sensitive hand wheel that will cause
the back check module in the QCC
cylinder valve to close when exposed
to temperatures between 240 degrees
and 300 degrees F. Should this occur,
do not attempt to reconnect the nut.
Remove the hose / regulator assembly
and replace with a new one.
3. The pressure regulator is set at 11”
(water column) and is for use with LP
