IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY
When operating your barbecue with a propane
cylinder these instructions and warnings must be
observed. Failure to do so may result in a serious fire or
explosion.
CYLINDER AND CONNECTOR REQUIREMENTS AND
SPECIFICATIONS
a. Propane gas cylinders and valves must be maintained
in good condition and must be replaced if there is visible
damage to either the cylinder or valve.
b. Your barbecue or gourmet power burner, when used
with a cylinder, should be connected to a standard 5
gallon (20lb.) propane gas cylinder equipped with an
OPD ( Overfill Prevention Device). The OPD has been
required on all cylinders sold since October 1,1998 to
prevent overfilling.
c. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately 12
inches in diameter and 18 inches high. Cylinders must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/ CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods.
d. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve and the cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
e. The pressure regulator and hose assembly used with
Fire Magic Barbecues must be provided or specified by
the Robert H. Peterson Co. The regulator and hose
included with this instruction sheet is equipped with a
coupling device commonly described as a Type I Acme
Thread Quick Coupler.
f. The propane gas (propane) cylinder valve for
connection to this coupler must be equipped with a
coupling device identified as Type I by Figure 1 of the
Harmonized Standard ANSI Z 21.58 and CGA 1.6-M95-
1995 with Addenda ANSI Z 21.58a -1998 and CGA 1.6a
- M98.
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF L.P. GAS CYLINDERS
a. Quick coupler operation - to connect the regulator/
hose assembly to the propane gas cylinder valve fitting
1) press the hand nut on the regulator and insert over
the Acme thread fitting on the cylinder valve 2) Turn the
hand nut clockwise to engage the threads and tighten
until snug. To disconnect, pull back on the hand nut
and turn counterclockwise until detached (Illustration
above).
b. Important: Before using the barbecue or gourmet
power burner and after each time the cylinder is
removed and reattached, check all connections for leaks.
Turn off the barbecue valves and open the main cylinder
valve, then check connections with soapy water. Repair
any leaks before lighting the barbecue. NEVER USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
c. CAUTION: Always turn the L.P./ propane cylinder main
valve off after each use and before moving the barbecue
and cylinder or disconnecting the coupling. This valve
must remain closed while the barbecue is not in use,
even though the gas flow is stopped by a safety feature
when the coupler is disconnected.
d. Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before
the gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose should
be replaced immediately.
e. For barbecues stored indoors, the cylinder must
be disconnected and removed. Cylinders must be
stored out of the reach of children and must not be
stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
a. Do not store a spare propane gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
b. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full
WARNING: If the information and directions
contained in this instruction sheet are not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
The cylinder valve and this regulator hose kit
incorporate a safety feature that limits excessive gas
flow. After connecting the cylinder to your barbecue
or gourmet power burner and opening the cylinder
valve, you must wait one minute before proceeding
with the lighting instructions.
