Coleman 9993 - Manual (Page 4)

DANGER
• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may
damage the valve. A damaged valve can cause a leak, which
could result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
• Refillable cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the
reach of children and must not be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area (Fig. 2).
Cylinder Specifications
• Any refillable L.P. gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be
approximately 12 inches diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum
fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of propane.
• The maximum weight of a properly filled cylinder will be approximately
38 pounds (47.7 lbs. nominal water capacity).
• The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1
L.P. gas cylinder valve outlet (see item [F], Fig. 1).
• A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-
check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal has
been obtained.
• The cylinder must be arranged in an upright position 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 over filled or overheated which could result in fire or
explosion.
• All refillable 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, and a cylinder connection device compatible with the
connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
• Read labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder.
• New refillable cylinders are always shipped empty for safety.
• Allow only qualified L.P. gas dealers to fill or repair your refillable 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 cylinder.
• After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief
valve remains free to function.
CAUTION
Have the gas dealer weigh the cylinder after filling to ensure that the
cylinder is not over filled.
L.P. Gas Cylinder
Fig. 2
Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane), is highly
flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a
cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and
tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking
connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the
section titled “LEAK TESTING”).
Portable LP gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprised
of a valve [A], a hose [B], a regulator [C] with vent hole [G], an L.P. gas
supply cylinder [D], a Type 1 coupling nut [E] and a Type 1 cylinder valve
[F], (Fig. 1).

WARNING
Your new barbecue grill is equipped with a Type 1 coupling nut [E].
DO NOT attempt to connect to any other refillable L.P. cylinder not
equipped with a mating Type 1 cylinder valve [F]. This grill may only
be used with cylinder connecting devices approved by Coleman.
