DANGER
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas released from the safety relief valve.
• The safety relief valve on the LP tank could activate releasing gas and cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage
• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn
coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to disconnect. Remove attachment holding LP tank, then lift up and off support bracket. Install safety cap onto LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve. Failure to use
safety cap as directed may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in enclosed areas.
• If you see, smell or hear escaping gas, immediately get away from the LP tank/grill and call your fire department.
• All spare LP tanks must have safety caps installed on the LP tank outlet.
