SETTING-UP REMOTE PROPANE CYLINDERS

*MAXIMUM INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER CAPACITY: 100 LBS. PROPANE *

Cylinders installed and connected for use with an MCB-P shall be located and installed in
a safe location and in a secure manner.

Propane cylinders must be located and secured against tip-over:

• 10 feet from the char -broiler itself and any other sour ces of ignition such as
electrical equipment, vehicles and other fuel burning appliances or equipment, building
intakes and exhausts

• All propane cylinders connected for use shall be secured against accidental
tipping by attaching them to a suitable object with a rope, chain, strap or other
suitable device. Crown Verity Inc. offers a specialized cylinder retaining cart that
addresses all tipping issues. Please contact your dealer and inquire about the RPS
cart. The plastic cylinder base ring that is supplied with the MCB-P is only

suitable for cylinders with a maximum capacity of 20 lbs. LP and does not
negate the necessity to provide additional security against tip-over.

• Hose(s) connected for use to LP cylinders shall be safely routed to provide
maximum protection from contact with hot, sharp or abrasive surfaces and areas,

from vehicular, pedestrian and mechanical damage

• Crown Verity Inc. recommends cordoning-off the area of the cylinder(s), hose(s) and
the char-broiler with barricades, bright marker tape or similar. Do not route hoses
across evacuation/emergency, pedestrian or vehicle routes.

Any temporary propane supply system must be installed in accordance with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes: ANSI/NFPA 54 1999/ANSI Z 223.1 1999 National
Fuel Gas Code, or CSA B.149.2: Propane Installation code.

Consult your local propane distributor, fire prevention agency, safety authority and exhibit
officials for installation requirements. Additional requirements other than those listed in
this manual may be required.

Recommendations listed in this instruction manual are considered to be minimum
safety requirements.

HOSES AND REGULATORS

WARNING! - Propane Gas Models: Your charbroiler is designed to operate on L.P.

(propane) gas at a pressure regulated at 11” water column. The regulator(s) supplied
with this charbroiler is/are set to this pressure and must be used.

CYLINDER CONNECTIONS:

• Never connect a propane gas grill to an unregulated propane gas supply or other gas.

Do not attempt to alter the hose or regulator in any way.

• Do not allow the hose to come in contact with any hot surfaces of the charbroiler.

• Visually inspect the entire length of the hose assembly before each use for any

evidence of damage (cuts, cracks, burns) or excessive wear. If found, replace the
assembly before using your charbroiler. Only a hose assembly as specified in the parts
list for your charbroiler should be used.

• The connection fitting must be protected when disconnected from the propane

cylinder. If the fitting is allowed to drag on the ground, damage to the fitting may occur
resulting in leaks or an incomplete connection. Dirt could also enter the small inlet
hole, blocking gas flow completely.

• Always disconnect hose at quick-connect coupling when storing charbroiler.

• The outlet pressure setting for the pressure regulator provided with the appliance is

11” water column for propane.
