Safe handling tips for LP Gas
■ Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as
are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at
regular temperatures and pressures. Under
moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a
liquid. As the pressure is released the liquid readily
vaporizes and becomes gas.
■ LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You
should know this odor.
■ LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may
collect in low areas that prevent dispersion.
■ To fill, take the LP tank to an RV center, or look up
gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of
LP gas. Have the tank filled with 5 pounds of liquid
propane.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER
FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure
you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is
equipped with a quick-disconnect valve. Other LP
tanks are not compatible with your barbecue
connection.
■ Air must be removed from a new LP tank before the
initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to perform
this procedure.
■ The LP tank must be installed, transported and
stored in an upright position. LP tanks should not be
dropped or handled roughly.
■ Never store or transport the LP tank where
temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by
hand - for example: do not leave the LP tank in a
car on a hot day).
■ Treat "empty" LP tanks with the same care as when
full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there
still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always
close the tank valve before disconnecting.
■ Do not use a damaged LP tank. Dented or rusty LP
tanks or LP tanks with a damaged valve may be
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one
immediately. See below for LP tank requirements.
■ The fitting where the hose connects to the LP tank
must be leak tested each time the LP tank is
reconnected. For example, test each time the LP
tank is refilled.
