SAFETY HOSE AND REGULATOR

PROPANE MODELS:

Your Barbecue is designed to operate on L.P gas at a pressure of

2.74Kpa (11” water column). A regulator preset to this pressure is

supplied with your Barbecue.

QCC-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING

All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder equipped
with the new QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.

The QCC-1 system incorporates new safety features required by the
Canadian Standards Steering Committee.

• Gas will not ow until a positive connection has been made

• A thermal element will shut o the ow of gas between 240 degrees

and 300 degrees F.

• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the ow of gas to 10
cubic feet per hour.

Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder

1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill.

2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full

stop.

4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and

strap supplied with valve.

5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand tighten

the coupling nut. Hold the regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder
valve so as not to cross-thread the connection.

6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator

will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in
some resistance.

NOTE:

If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable
to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!

DANGER

Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage
the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury,
or death.

limiting device feature from being re-activated).

9. Turn the selected burner control knob, to the “Hi” ( ) position.

10. Press the Electronic ignition button, or use the match and match holder, or a BBQ lighter to ignite the
selected burner.

Avoid activating the Flow Limiting Feature by following the proper start up and shut down procedures and
performing a complete leak test and safety check to ensure that there are no leaks in the system, and that a
positive connection has been made between the gas source and manifold assembly.

LEAK TESTING THE VALVE, HOSE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY

1. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.

2. Ensure that the regulator is tightly connected to LP cylinder.

3. Brush soapy solution onto hose and regulator and all connections from

the LP tank to the main and side burner manifold.

4. Completely open LP cylinder valve by turning hand wheel

counterclockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas o
immediately. There is a leak at the connection. Correct before

proceeding.

5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP cylinder valve

immediately and re-tighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped
do not try to repair. Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by
providing the serial number, model number, name and part number
of items required (see parts list) to a Coleman® Customer Care Agent
1-800-275-4617.

6. Always close LP cylinder valve after performing leak test by turning hand wheel clockwise.

LP Cylinder Leak Test For Your Safety

ATTENTION: Leak Test must be repeated each time the LP cylinder is

exchanged or refilled.

• Do not smoke during leak test.

• Do not use an open ame to check for gas leaks

• BBQ must be leak tested outdoors in a well ventilated area, away from ignition

sources such as gas fired electrical appliances. During leak test, keep your
BBQ away from open flames or sparks.

• Use a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mild soap and water mixture.

• Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in gure A.

Regulator Flow Limiting Device

If you are experiencing any of the following performance issues you may have activated the ow
limiting feature in your regulator:

• Burners not getting hot enough

• Low or incomplete burner ames

• Low gas pressure

• Burners not staying lit

Resetting the Regulator Flow Limiting feature

1. With all control knobs and the gas source in the OFF ( ) position, Open the BBQ lid.

2. Disconnect the hose and regulator from the Propane tank.

3. Turn all BBQ control knobs to the “Hi” ( ) position, and let stand for 1-3 minutes, allowing all excess gas
in valves and manifold to dissipate.
