Remove the plastic valve cover from the Liquid Propane cylinder. Make sure the grill gas hoses do not
contact the grease pan or grill firebox when the Liquid Propane cylinder is placed into the cart.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
Your grill is equipped with gas supply orifices for use with only Liquid Propane gas. It is also equipped
with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20-lb Liquid Propane cylinder
(18-1/4 inches high, 12-1/4 inches diameter).
To connect the Liquid Propane gas supply cylinder:
1. The cylinder valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the valve clockwise until it stops.
2. Make sure the cylinder valve has the proper type-1 external male thread connections per ANSI
Z21.81.
3. Make sure the burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
4. Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose for
damage.
5. 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
6. Open the cylinder valve fully by turning the valve counterclockwise.
7. Before lighting the grill, use a soap and water solution to check all the connections for leaks.
8. 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.
WARNING
Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local Liquid Propane dealer for repair.
DISCONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
1. Turn the grill burner valves “OFF” and make sure the grill is cool.
2. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve “OFF” by turning clockwise until it stops.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
4. Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Install only 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 the 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 valves “OFF”.
2. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
