Portable L. P. Gas Barbecue Grills
WARNING: Do not use natural gas in an
appliance designed for L.P. gas. Use only liquid
propane (L.P.) gas in an appliance designed for
L.P. gas.
L.P. Gas
Liquid Propane (abbreviated L.P.) gas is
stored under high pressure inside a cylinder and
vaporizes when released. It is important that
there are no leaky connections on the grill’s fuel
supply system.
The L.P. FUELSUPPLY 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
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.
The Type 1 connection system has the following features:
1. The system will not allow gas to flow until a
positive connection has been made.
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-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. AType 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.

Portable L. P. Gas Barbecue Grills
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.
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 highpressure 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/CSAB339, 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.
The cylinder provided is shipped empty for
safety. Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to
fill or repair your L.P. gas-supply cylinder.
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.
Do not store cylinder in a building, garage or
any other enclosed area. Store outdoors in a
well ventilated area, away from people and out
of the reach of children.
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.
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 to check 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.
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.
Do not store spare cylinders near grill.

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 an 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.
