Installation 1Chapter
Necessary Information to
Safely Use a Gas Grill
The gas fuel used by this product is
highly flammable and must be used in
a responsible and cautious manner.
It is your responsibility to assemble,
operate, and maintain your gas
barbecue grill properly.
·
Operating this or any gas-fired appliance
in an enclosed area can produce a build-up
of carbon-monoxide, which could result in
injury or death.
2. Installation must conform with local
codes
either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, NFPA 54 (USA), or CAN/CGA-B
149.2, Propane Installation Code (Canada)
and CAN/CGA-B 149.1 Natural Gas
Installation Code.
To check local codes, contact your local gas
dealer or gas company listed in the Yellow

WARNING:
appliance designed for L.P. gas. Use only
liquid propane (L.P.) gas in an appliance
designed for L.P. gas.
L.P. Gas
Liquid Propane (abbreviated L.P.) gas is
stored under high pressure inside a cylinder
and will vaporize when released. It is
important that there are no leaky connections
on the grill fuel supply system. Refer to the
Leak Testing section of this manual.
The L.P. Fuel Supply System
An L.P. gas grill requires a fuel delivery
system made up of a L.P. gas supply
cylinder, a fuel regulator with hose and a
gas-control valve.
Do not use natural gas in an

FUEL REGULATOR AND HOSES
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.
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.

L.P. Cylinders can be obtained at the store
where you purchased your grill or from an
authorized L.P. gas dealer.

Cylinder
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.
The L.P. Fuel Supply System
(L.P. gas cylinder)
L.P. GAS CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS
Any L.P. gas-supply cylinder used with this
grill must be approximately 12 inches
diameter and 18 inches high.
The maximum
fuel capacity must be 20 pounds of propane.
Full-cylinder weight should be approximately
38 pounds (43.7 lbs. Nominal water
capacity).
6
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve
terminating in a Type 1 L.P. gas-cylindervalve outlet. A Type 1 compatible cylinder
with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a positive
seating connection that does not permit gas
flow until a positive seal has been obtained.
The cylinder must be arranged 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 overfilled or overheated.
All L.P. gas cylinders used with this
appliance shall be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for 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. Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply
cylinder.
Have the gas dealer weigh the cylinder
after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not
overfilled.
DANGER:
a.) Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder
under or near this appliance.
b.) Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80
percent full.
c.) If the information in (a.) and (b.) Is not
followed exactly, a fire causing serious injury
or death may occur.
TRANSPORTING A FULL CYLINDER
WARNING:
Handle a full cylinder with care.
Gas is under high pressure.
You should transport only one cylinder at a
time. Transport the cylinder in an upright and
secure manner with the control valve turned
off and the POL plug in place.
DANGER:
Do not insert any foreign objects
into the valve outlet. You may damage the
back check, A damaged back check can
cause a leak, which could result in explosion,
fire, severe personal injury or death.
Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to
fill or repair an 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 fuel cylinder.
After filling, have the gas dealer check for
leaks and that the relief valve remains free to
function.
Do not transport a cylinder in the passenger
compartment of a vehicle.
Do not leave 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 cylinder
valve closed when not in use.

Take These Instructions to the L.P. Gas Dealer
When using a cylinder exchange, be sure the
exchanged cylinder is a Type 1 cylinder; a 510
POL cylinder will not fit a Type 1 regulator.
FILLING AND PURGING
TYPE 1 L.P. GAS CYLINDERS
DANGER:
cylinders must be performed by personnel who
have been thoroughly trained in accepted L.P.
gas industry procedures. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in explosion, fire, severe
personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT:
filling. This tank is easily filled with a standard
CGA 510 POL filling connection.
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.

Example A
Filling a Type 1 Cylinder Valve
Example A: shows a CGA-510 POL fitting.
Example B: shows using a Type 1 POL fitting.
Type 1
(cut away to see fitting)
C. Purging using a Type 1 connection: L.P.
gas cylinder evacuation can be accomplished
during each purging by using a Type 1
connection. The Type 1 valve outlet has 15/16” external ACME right-hand thread that will
accept this connection.
CAUTION:
cylinder, do not insert a POL plug into the
valve outlet. Insertion of this plug will prevent
the back-check from closing. Use ONLY the
provided cap and strap attached to the outlet.
Close the cylinder valve knob before returning
the cylinder to the customer.
For proper purging procedures in the USA,
refer to: Safety Bulletin NPGA # 133, “Purging
L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin NPGA
#130, “Recommended Procedures for Filling
Cylinders.”
