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.
CGA-510 POL
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.
Type 1
(cut away to see fitting)
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 15/16” external ACME right-hand thread that will
accept this connection.
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 USA,
refer to: Safety Bulletin NPGA # 133, “Purging
L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin NPGA
#130, “Recommended Procedures for Filling
Cylinders.”

Connecting the L.P. Gas Cylinder
Install a Drip Pan in the Heat Shield
The grease pan is a 3-1/2”x6” aluminum loaf
pan
available at most grocery stores.
Connecting the Regulator to Cylinder
1. The top knob on the supply cylinder must
be closed. See that the top cylinder knob is
turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that all the grill burner knobs are
turned off.
7. Make sure the hose has no kinks or
sharp bends and clears any areas that will
become hot during use. Never put strain on
the hose where it joins a fitting. The rubber
fuel supply hose must not touch the bottom
grill casting during use.
8. Before lighting grill, check all connections
for leaks using a mild soapy-water solution.
9. Place an aluminum 3-1/2” x 6” loaf pan
into the opening in the heat shield located
beneath the grill bottom. During use the pan
will catch hot grease drippings that could
damage the fuel supply system.
3. Remove the protective caps from the
cylinder valve and coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert
the nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the
nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The
coupling nut connects to the large outside
threads on the valve outlet. Use care not to
cross thread the connection.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise
until it comes to a full stop. Tighten by hand
only. Do not use tools.
6. CAUTION: In the connection process,
the grill side of the connection will seal on
the back check in the valve, resulting in a
slight resistance. The connection requires
about one-half to three-quarters additional
turn to complete the connection.

Natural Gas Grills - Connecting to Natural Gas
(for specially equipped natural gas grills only)
DANGER:
If the appliance is for connection to natural
gas, the gas connections should be made by a
qualified installer or a licensed plumber. The
gas-supply line must not be installed by the
consumer.
The valve-orifices and fuel supply hose
system necessary for use with natural gas is
different than the system required for L.P. gas.
Modification to the burner valve/orifices allow
the use of natural gas. An L.P. cylinder is not
needed.
WARNING:
gas in an appliance designed for natural gas.
Use only natural gas in an appliance designed
for natural gas.
INSTALLATION FOR NATURAL GAS
EXPLOSIVE AND FLAMMABLE!
Do not use liquid propane (L.P.)
A quick-connect coupling sleeve with 3/8”
female end is provided. Install the connector
socket at the pipe end, after the shut-off valve.
This must be installed where the grill will be in
use.
It is important to observe the safety
guidelines for choosing a safe location. The
gas supply must be shut off prior to installation
of the quick connector socket. Use only a
matching factory authorized quick-connect
plug with the quick-connect socket.
Natural-gas units are equipped with a 12footlong quick-connect fuel hose in place of
the shorter hose/regulator attached to the
burner valve.
Dust Cap
The maximum inlet supply pressure is 11.0"
w.c. for propane gas and 7.0" w.c. for natural
gas.
The specified supply pressure is 11.0" w.c.
for propane gas and 7.0" wc. for natural gas.
The piping system should be installed by a
qualified service technician in accordance with
the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1) in the U.S.A., including:
1. The appliance and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gassupply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the
gas-supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

One example of an Individual Shut-Off
Valve with the Quick-Connect Socket.
Prior to inserting, turn on gas supply and test
all connections with an ammonia-free soap
and water solution. Apply this solution to the
stem of the shut-off valve and opening of the
socket to detect leaks. (See Leak Testing
Natural Gas Connections on the following
page).

OPERATING THE QUICK-CONNECT
Follow all directions on tags attached to hose.
1. To connect the fuel-supply hose to the fuel
supply, the shut-off valve must be closed.
2. Remove the dust cap from the connector
socket by sliding the connector sleeve back to
release the plug. Remove the dust cap from
the plug.
Plug
5. Push the plug into the connector until the
sleeve snaps forward to lock the fitting in
place. Turn on the shut-off valve. The flow of
gas to the appliance will be restricted if the
plug is not connected properly.
6. Test for gas leaks using an ammonia-free
soap and water solution.
TO DISCONNECT THE FUEL SUPPLY
1. Pull connector sleeve back and pull plug
out of socket. This will automatically shut off
gas to the appliance.
2. Close the shut-off valve and install the dust
caps on the socket and plug. Always turn off
the fuel supply at the shut-off valve when the
grill is not in use.
3. Position the plug end of the fuel supply
hose into the sleeve opening.
Connector Sleeve
4. Slide the connector sleeve back, firmly
push the fitting into the connector.
Shut-off Valve
LEAK TEST CONNECTIONS
Test all the fuel supply connections using an
ammonia-free soap and water solution equally
mixed. Never use fire to test for leaks.
1. Turn on the gas shut-off valve.
2. Coat all connections of the fuel supply
system, especially at the quick-connect.
3. Watch for bubbles to indicate a leak.
4. If there is a leak, shut off the gas supply
and re-connect the hose to the socket. Re-test
for leaks.
Do not use the grill if a leak is detected that
cannot be corrected in this manner or if the
hose and connections become damaged.
Replace damaged components with only
factory authorized parts.
Dust Cap
Do not strain or kink the fuel-supply hose.
See that the hose is kept clear of surfaces that
become hot during use.
