When purchasing
or exchanging
a cylinder for your gas grill, it must
be constructed
and marked in accordance
with the specifications
for LP gas cylinders
of the U.S. Department
of Transportation
(DOT)
or the National Standard
of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339
Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation
of Dangerous
Goods; and
Commission,
as applicable;
and provided with a listed over-filling
prevention
device (OPD), and provided with a cylinder connection
device compatible
with the connection
for outdoor cooking
appliances.
The cylinder
must also be equipped
with:
•
A shut-off
valve terminating
in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve
outlet.
•
A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal
is obtained.
•
An arrangement
for vapor withdrawal.
•
A collar to protect
the cylinder
shut-off valve.
•
A safety relief device having direct communication
with
the vapor space of the cylinder.
•
A listed over-filling
prevention
device (OPD).
Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.
•
Handle the tank with care.
•
Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.
•
Never connect
an unregulated
LP gas cylinder
to your
grill.
•
DO NOT expose
LP gas cylinders
to excessive
heat or
ignition sources.
•
DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near
your grill.

LP gas cylinder.
•
DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80%
capacity.
•

and instructions
that are on

Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your
grill. This could cause excess pressure to be expelled
through the vapor relief valve resulting
in fire, explosion,
or severe personal injury including death.
Note:
PROPANE
GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL
COLLECT
IN LOW AREAS.PROPER
VENTILATION
IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT.
Keep the ventilation
opening(s)
of the LP gas cylinder
enclosure
free and clear from obstructions
and debris.
DO NOT insert any foreign
objects
into the valve outlet.
Damage
to the back-check
could result. A damaged
back-check
can cause a leak, possibly resulting
in
explosion,
fire, severe bodily harm, or death.
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:
Allow only qualified
LP gas dealers to properly fill or
repair your LP gas cylinder.
New tanks should be purged
prior to filling; inform LP
gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80%
capacity.
Over-filled
tanks can create a dangerous
condition.
Over-filled
tanks can build-up
pressure
and
cause the relief valve to expel propane
gas vapors. The
vapor is combustible
and if it comes in contact with a
spark source or flame an explosion
causing severe
burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
The 20 Ib LP cylinder used with this smoker must
conform
to the following
requirements.
Diameter-

capacity
of 20 pounds. The gas
cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be
arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever
the
cylinder is not in use. Only install 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.
If you exchange
a cylinder with a qualified exchange
program,
be sure the cylinder has a Type 1 valve and
an over-filling
prevention device (OPD).
