TO CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE CYLINDER:
A) Locate hose retention clip (1) on regulator hose. Secure into slot (2) on underside
of tank scale.
m WARNING: The hose must be secured to the tank scale
with the Hose Retention Clip. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the hose resulting in a fire or explosion which
can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to
property.
Some LP tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal
protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing
front (a). The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale
(b). Weber recommends the use of cylinder manufacturer’s Manchester and
Worthington, with a 47.6 lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for
use with the appliance provided they are compatible with the appliance retention
means (see illustrations).
The LP cylinder is installed inside the base cabinet, on the tank
scale (right side).
B) Open base cabinet doors.
C) Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to
the front or side of the Weber
®
gas barbecue. Lift and hook
the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.
D) Lift tank up into position on the tank scale.
E) Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock
down. Tighten the wing nut.

TO CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE CYLINDER:
F) Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.
G) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve,
clockwise, or to the right. Hand-tighten only.
Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas
to flow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires
tightening by hand only.
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten
the connection. Using a wrench could
damage the regulator coupling and could
cause a leak.
You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
H) Mix soap and water.
I) Turn on the cylinder valve.
J) Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and
watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fitting. Turn the gas back on and
recheck with the soap and water solution.
If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue. Contact the customer service
representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log
