HOSE AND REGULATOR:
Your grill is equipped
with a Type 1 connection
device with the
following
features:
1.
The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a
positive connection
to the valve has been made.
Note:
The cylinder valve must be turned off before any
connection
is made or removed.
2.
A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is
subject to temperatures
above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to
150°C). If this should happen,
remove the entire regulator
assembly
and dispose
of properly.
In order to insure proper
operation,
any replacement
of the fuel tank regulator
assembly
has to be done with parts authorized
by the grill manufacturer.
The cause of the excessive
heat should be determined
and
corrected
before using your grill again.
3.
A regulator
flow limiting device, when activated,
restricts the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device
is activated,
perform
Regulator
Resetting
Procedure.
REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE:
1.
2.
Make sure that all burners are off. Turn off the cylinder valve
and disconnect
regulator
from LP gas tank. Wait approximately
two minutes.
Reattach regulator
and slowly turn cylinder valve back on. The
flow limiting device will now be reset
Never use your grill without leak testing all gas
connections
and hoses. See the section on "Leak
Testing" in this manual for proper procedures.
The pressure
regulator
and hose assembly
supplied
with your gas grill must be used.
DO NOT attempt
to connect
grill, as purchased
for LP
(propane)
gas, to any other fuel supply source such as
a natural gas line.
DO NOT use any other pressure
regulator/hose
assembly
other than the one supplied with your grill.
Replacement
pressure regulator/hose
assembly
must
be done with identical
replacement
parts by the grill
manufacturer.
DO NOT attempt
to adjust or repair the regulator. The
regulator
is designed to operate
at a maximum output
pressure
of 11 inches of water column (2.74 kPa).
During assembly
and/or replacement
of the gas cylinder,
keep the
gas supply
hose free of kinks and/or damage.
Visually inspect the hose assembly
prior to each use for evidence
of
damage, excess wear, or deterioration.
If found, replace the
assembly
before using your grill. In order to insure proper operation,
any replacement
of the hose assembly
must be done with identical
replacement
parts. Call 1-800-848-8915
for replacement
parts.
CONNECTING
HOSE AND REGULATOR
TO AN LP GAS CYLINDER
Ensure the tank valve is CLOSED
prior to connecting
the LP gas cylinder to your grill. Turn the valve knob
clockwise
to properly close the valve. Read and follow
all instructions
and warnings
on the supply hose safety
tags. Read and follow all warnings
in this manual
concerning
the safe use of LP gas cylinders and the
hose and regulator
before connecting
cylinder to grill.
Read and follow all warnings
on the LP cylinder.
CONNECTING

7.
Check that the cylinder valve is closed
by turning the knob
clockwise.
Make sure that all burners are off.
Remove the protective
plastic cap from the cylinder valve and
the connection
device.
Hold regulator
and insert the nipple of connection
device into
the LP cylinder
valve outlet. Ensure that the device is centered
properly.
Turn the large coupling
nut clockwise
by hand and tighten to a
full stop. Take care not to cross thread the coupling
nut onto the
cylinder valve. Do not over-tighten
the knob onto the valve. Do
not use tools to tighten connection.
Note:
if you are unable to make the connection,
repeat
Steps 4 and 5.
Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not contact
sharp edges, and does not contact
surfaces that may become
hot during use.
Leak check all fittings
before lighting your grill. See section on
"Leak Testing" in this manual.
To prevent fire or explosion
hazard:
•
DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area
while conducting
a leak test.
•
Perform test OUTDOORS
only in a well ventilated
area.
•
Never perform
a leak test with a match or open flame.
•
Never perform
a leak test while the grill is in use or
while grill is still hot.
