The L.P. FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
An L.P. gas grill requires a fuel delivery system made up of an L.P gas supply cylinder, a
fuel regulator with hose and a gas-control
valve.
Dual Burner Fuel-Control Valve
Type 1 Fuel Regulator
Valve Orifice
2. The system has a thermal element that
will shut off the flow of gas between 240° F
and 300° F.
3. The system has a flow-limiting device
which when activated, will limit the flow of
gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
4. The pressure regulator and hose assembly provided is factory set at an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column (.4 lb. per
sq. inch).
WARNING: Any attempt to adjust the
regulator is dangerous and could create
a situation causing personal injury or
property damage. Consult your L.P. gas
dealer if you think the regulator is not
working properly.
Fuel Supply
Hose
The L.P. Fuel Supply System
(the fuel regulator and hose)
FUEL REGULATOR AND HOSE
The fuel regulator supplied is equipped with
a Type 1 coupling nut. Do not attempt to connect to any other L.P cylinder not equipped
with a mating Type 1 cylinder valve.
This grill is not to be used with any other cylinder connection device.
The fuel regulator and hose assembly with
the Type 1 fitting supplied must be used with
the appliance. Do not use a hose and regulator assembly other than the one supplied with
the grill or a manufacturer’s replacement fuel
pressure regulator assembly.

L.P. GAS CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS
Any L.P. gas-supply cylinder used with
this grill must be approximately 12 inches
diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity must be 20 pounds of
propane. Full-cylinder weight should be
approximately 38 pounds (43.7 lbs. nominal
water capacity).
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off
valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P gas-cylinder-valve outlet. A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a positive seating connection that does not permit
gas flow until a positive seal has been obtained.
Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to
fill or repair an L.P. gas-supply cylinder.
Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used
cylinder to be filled. Caution the gas dealer
not to overfill the fuel cylinder.
After filling, have the gas dealer check for
leaks and that the relief valve remains free
to function.
Have the gas dealer weigh cylinder after
filling to ensure that the cylinder is not overfilled.
DANGER:
a.) Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder
under or near this appliance.
The cylinder must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. It must also include a Collar to
protect the cylinder valve. A safety-reIief
device having direct communication with
the vapor space of cylinder must be provided. This will expel high-pressure gas if the
cylinder is overfilled or overheated.
All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for L.P.
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 shall be
provided with a listed overfilling-prevention
device. Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply
cylinder.
DANGER: Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may
damage the back check. A damaged
back check can cause a leak, which
could result in explosion, fire, severe
personal injury, or death.
b.) Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80
percent full.
c.) If the information in “(a.)” and “(b.)”
is not followed exactly, a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
TRANSPORTING A FULL CYLINDER
WARNING! Handle a full cylinder with
care. Gas is under high pressure.
You should transport only one cylinder at a
time. Transport the cylinder in an upright
and secure manner with control valve turned
off and the POL plug in place.
Do not transport cylinder in the passenger
compartment of a vehicle.
Do not leave cylinder in direct sunlight or in
a high-heat area such as a closed car trunk.
High-heat areas could cause the relief valve
to vent gas.
Use a cylinder cap on cylinder-valve outlet
during transport and when the cylinder is not
connected to grill. Keep cylinder valve
closed when not in use.

Take These Instructions to the L.P. Gas Dealer.
When using a cylinder exchange, be sure the
exchanged cylinder is a Type 1 cylinder; a 510
POL cylinder will not fit a Type 1 regulator.
FILLING AND PURGING TYPE 1 L.P. GAS CYLINDERS
DANGER! Purging and filling of L.P. Gas
cylinders must be performed by personnel
who have been thoroughly trained in accepted L.P. gas industry procedures. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
IMPORTANT: Purge new cylinders before filling. This tank is easily filled with a standard
CGA 510 POL filling connection.
The L.P. gas cylinder has a Type 1 cylinder
valve with a back-check module in its outlet that
will not permit gas to flow until an evacuation
device is installed. To purge the L.P. gas cylinder, the back-check module must be opened
with an evacuation device.
PURGING AND EVACUATION DEVICES FOR L.P. GAS
CYLINDER WITH TYPE 1 CYLINDER VALVES
A. Hose-end valve with a bleed port: Purging
can be accomplished using a hose-end valve
containing a bleed port, which also allows for
evacuation without the use of an adapter.
B. Hose-end valve without a bleed port: When
a hose end valve does not have a bleed port, a
separate device must be used for evacuation.
C. Purging using a Type 1 connection: L.P. gas
cylinder evacuation can be accomplished during
each purging by using a Type 1 connection. The
Type 1 valve outlet has 1 5/16" external ACME
right-hand thread that will accept this connection.
Example A
Filling a Type 1 Cylinder Valve
Example A: shows a CGA-510 POL fitting.
Example B: shows using a Type 1 POL fitting.
Example B
CAUTION: After purging or filling an L.P. gas
cylinder, do not insert a POL plug into the valve
outlet. Insertion of this plug will prevent the
back-check from closing. Use ONLY the provided cap and strap attached to the outlet. Close
the cylinder valve knob before returning the
cylinder to the customer.
For proper purging procedures in the U.S.A.
refer to: Safety Bulletin NPGA #133, “Purging
L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin NPGA
#130, “Recommended Procedures for Filling
Cylinders.”
DANGER: Do not fill an L.P. gas cylinder
beyond 80% full. If this information is not
followed exactly, a fire causing serious injury
or death may occur.
