WARNING
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:
• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel
propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or
flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
• Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.
• If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has
a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).
INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER ONTO THE GRILL:
1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the
knob clockwise.
2. Place the cylinder onto the bottom shelf/tank support.
3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening does not
kink or damage the supply hose.
HOSE AND REGULATOR:
Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:
1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.
NOTE: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.
2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is subject to temperatures above 240°F and
300°F (115°C and 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and throw it away.
A replacement regulator assembly can be purchased by contacting Brinkmann at 1-800-527-0717.
The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.
3. A flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
