IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION
Failure to follow these DANGER statements exactly may result in a fi re
causing death or serious injury.
ƽ DANGER
ƽ NEVER store a spare LP Cylinder under or near this
barbecue.
ƽ NEVER fi ll the tank beyond 80% full.
Your Weber
®
gas grill is equipped for a cylinder supply system designed for
vapor withdrawal.
ƽ WARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated
area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any
other enclosed area.
The proper fi lling methods for the fi lling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as
described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your fi lling station fi lls your LP cylinder by
weight or volume. Ask your fi lling station to read purging and fi lling instructions on the
LP cylinder before attempting to fi ll.
LEAK CHECK PREPARATION
CHECK THAT ALL BURNER VALVES ARE OFF
Valves are shipped in the “OFF” position, but you should check to be sure that they are
turned off. Check by pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn, they are
off. Proceed to the next step. If they do turn continue turning them clockwise until they
stop, then they are off. Proceed to the next step.
TEST CONNECTIONS
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local
codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of AS5601/AG601.
ƽ DANGER
Do not use an open fl ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure
there are no sparks or open fl ames in the area while you
check for gas leaks. This will result in a fi re or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage
to property.
FILL LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
To fi ll, take the liquid propane cylinder and fi ller adapter to an RV center or look up gas-
propane in the phone book for other sources of liquid propane gas.
ƽ WARNING: We recommend that your liquid propane cylinder be fi lled
at an authorized liquid propane gas dealer by a qualifi ed attendant, who
fi lls the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
The liquid propane cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright posi-
tion, and should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder where temperatures can reach
125°F / 51°C (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the liquid propane
cylinder in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of liquid propane cylinders, see Section “Operat-
ing”.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
All Weber
®
liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-Listed tank
connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane
tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1
coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and
your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fi tting that is
not properly tightened. Gas will not fl ow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully
engaged into the coupling.
ƽ WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed.
Close by turning valve clockwise.
ƽ DANGER
Do not use an open fl ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure
there are no sparks or open fl ames in the area while you
check for leaks. Sparks or fl ames will result in a fi re or
explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death,
and damage to property.
