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.

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.

Purging and filling of L.P. gas

Purge new cylinders before

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.
