GAS HOOK-UP’S AND WARNINGS

(LP) LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten

cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP cylinder requirements:

• Use LP cylinder only with these required measurements:

• 12”(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg) capacity maximum.

• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP 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. See LP cylinder collar for marking.

LP cylinder valve must have:

Shut-off valve with a correct cylinder valve output as specified in

current standards. CAN / CGA 1.6g-M97 Outdoor Gas Grills. USA: ANSI
Z21.58a-2006/CSA 1.6g-2006 Outdoor Cooking Appliances.

• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill. The type 1 valve is easily

recognized by the large external thread on the outside of the valve.

• Safety relief valve with direct connection to the vapour space of the cylinder.

UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identi-

fied by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with
this type of valve.

• A device for vapor withdrawal.

• A collar to protect the LP tank shut off valve.

• A ring on the bottom of the LP tank to secure it to the support assembly.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder

valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

WARNING

Any attempt to connect a regulator to any connectors other than the mating TYPE -1 connector could

result in fires, explosions, injuries, or property damage. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type

of valve.

DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding 9.1 kg capacity or use a cylinder with any other type

of cylinder valve connection device.

Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.

DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder, empty or full, under or near

the appliance.

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible

gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire or
explosion with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.

• Do not store objects or materials inside the barbecue cart enclosure that

would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the
control panel or the burner box.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP

cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.
