Put the foil drip pan into the catch pan. Slide the catch pan into the catch pan holder with its

finger grip towards you.

SET LP FUEL SCALE

You will need: LP tank (empty).

Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an empty tank.

We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated in Figure 9.

Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held up out of the way. Figure 9 (a). Lift and hook the tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel scale setting to E with scale setting (top) wing nut. Figure 9 (b).

CAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from tank scale.

After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.

FILL LP TANK

To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter to an RV center, or look up gas-propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.

IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.

CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure you get a similar tank in return.Your LP tank is equipped with a Type II, CGA #810 quick-disconnect valve. Other LP tanks are not compatible with your barbecue connection.

The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).
