DANGER

• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the valve. A damaged valve can cause a leak, which could result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.

WARNING

• Refillable cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the

reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area (Fig. 2).

Cylinder Specifications

• Any refillable L.P. gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be approximately 12 inches diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of propane.

• The maximum weight of a properly filled cylinder will be approximately 38 pounds (47.7 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 (see item [F], Fig. 1).

• A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-

check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal has been obtained.

• The cylinder must be arranged in an upright position for vapor

withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder must be provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the cylinder is over filled or overheated which could result in fire or explosion.

• All refillable L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be

constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications f

or 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, and a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.

• Read labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder.

• New refillable cylinders are always shipped empty for safety.

• Allow only qualified L.P. gas dealers to fill or repair your refillable 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 cylinder.

• After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief valve remains free to function.

CAUTION

Have the gas dealer weigh the cylinder after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not over filled.

L.P. Gas Cylinder

Fig. 2

Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane), is highly flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the section titled “LEAK TESTING”).

Portable LP gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprised of a valve [A], a hose [B], a regulator [C] with vent hole [G], an L.P. gas supply cylinder [D], a Type 1 coupling nut [E] and a Type 1 cylinder valve [F], (Fig. 1).

WARNING

Your new barbecue grill is equipped with a Type 1 coupling nut [E]. DO NOT attempt to connect to any other refillable L.P. cylinder not equipped with a mating Type 1 cylinder valve [F]. This grill may only be used with cylinder connecting devices approved by Coleman.

Portable L.P. Gas Barbecue Cylinders

Fig. 1

The pressure regulator and hose assembly with the Type 1 fitting supplied with the appliance must be used. Do not use another hose and regulator assembly other than the one supplied with the grill or a Coleman® replacement pressure regulator assembly. The pressure regulator and hose assembly provided is factory set at an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column (1/2 psi).

• Keep the small vent hole in the regulator clean of dirt and debris (see item [G], Fig. 1).

• Consult your L.P. gas dealer if you think the regulator is not working properly.

WARNING

• DO NOT attempt to adjust the regulator as this could create a situation causing personal injury or property damage.

WARNING

During assembly of the grill and when attaching or replacing the L.P. gas cylinder, insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks and/or damage and is at least 3 inches away from hot surfaces such as the grill housing.

Hose and Regulator

Transporting the Refillable Cylinder

• Transport only one refillable cylinder at a time.

• Transport the cylinder in an upright and secure manner with a control valve turned off and the cap in place.

• DO NOT transport the cylinder in the passenger compartment, unless you have an open window ventilation.

• DO NOT leave the 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 the cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not connected to the grill.

• Keep the cylinder valve closed when not in use.

• Take the cylinder directly home after it has been filled.

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.

NOTE: The cylinder control valve must be turned off before any

connection is made or removed.

2. The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas in

the event of a fire.

3. The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will limit

the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.

4. NEVER use grill without leak testing this connection.

WARNING

Handle a full cylinder with care. Gas is under high pressure.

DANGER

• NEVER store a spare L.P. gas supply cylinder under the grill body or inside the grill enclosure or in the vicinity of any heat producing appliance. (Fig. 3)

• NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.

Failure to follow this information exactly could result in an explosion and/or fire causing death or serious injury.
