Operating your grill at pressure higher
or lower than recommended may damage
the grill or result in a hazard or poor
performance.
A regulator adjusted to this pressure must be installed in the gas
supply line before the grill is connected to the propane source.
PGS propane gas grills include a 11” W.C. regulator and a “TYPE I
“ Cylinder Connection Device. This system complies with the
specifications and requirements of ANSI Z21.58b standards. This
system can only be used with a QCC Type I tank. Our hoses
include an excess flow safety system that will stop the flow of gas to
your grill in the event of leaking gas or a damaged hose.
PLEASE NOTE. In the event that you
inadvertently have the valves of your grill
turned to the “ON” position, and then open
the valve on top of your tank, the excess
flow device will activate and shut off the
flow of gas. If this should occur, turn the
valves to the “OFF” position on your grill
head then the valve on the tank “OFF”.
Wait five minutes before attempting to light. Always turn
on the valve at the top of your tank and then the valves to
your grill head to the “ON” position. The safety system
detailed above has been incorporated into your PGS gas grill
to provide you and your family the maximum in safety when
operating the grill.
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE LP HOSE OR USE WITH A
TANK LARGER THAN 20 LBS. OR TO A TANK EQUIPPED
WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN A QCCI FITTING. TURN
VALVE THAT IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF TANK TO “OFF”
WHEN GRILL IS NOT IN USE.
PROPANE CYLINDER FILLING & HANDLING
TIPS
When the hose and regulator are disconnected from the tank, the
flow of gas is safely shut off. You must still shut off the main
tank valve located at the top of the tank when transporting your
tank or when the unit is not in use.
•
Do not modify hose or LP fittings. Contact local dealer
or distributor if tank, hose or fittings need replacement.
• If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or
the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill
being operated. Please see your local PGS dealer or
call the factory for an exact replacement.
• Store propane tank outdoors in a cool, well ventilated
area. Never store extra tanks in, on, or around your
grill.
• Turn off tank when not in use.
• Transport tanks upright ONLY.
• Never allow a tank to be overfilled. 100% empty
tanks hold only 4.5 gallons of propane.
• Inspect your grill cabinet often to ensure that
ventilation openings in sides and back of cart are free
from debris and have proper air circulation.
• Never paint LP cylinder a dark color. This may cause
OVERHEATING. Do not apply heat directly to tank.
• LP Gas is stored under high pressure and must be
handled with care. Do not handle a tank roughly.
• Be sure your LP gas dealer checks the cylinder with a
soapy solution for leaks after filling.
• Do not turn gas valve on unless connection between
regulator and tank is complete.
• Storage of your gas grill indoors is permissible only if
the cylinder is disconnected, removed from grill and
cylinder stored outdoors.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT GRILL, BE CERTAIN THE
GAS VALVE KNOBS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. TURN
TANK VALVE ON BY TURNING KNOB ON TOP OF TANK,
COUNTER CLOCKWISE. CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A
SOLUTION OF 50% LIQUID SOAP, 50% WATER.
SOLUTION CAN BE SPRAYED ON WITH A SPRAY BOTTLE OR
PAINTED ON ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A BRUSH. IF
BUBBLES APPEAR THERE IS A LEAK, TURN OFF GAS,
TIGHTEN FITTINGS AND REPEAT THIS CHECK.
The cylinder must be provided with a shutoff valve terminating in an
LP-gas supply cylinder, valve outlet specified, as applicable, for
Connection No. 510 in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder
Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections, ANSI/CGA-V-1, or Connection
No. 600 in the Compressed Gas Association’s Limited Standard
Cylinder Valve Outlet Connection for Propane Small Valve Series or a
combination LP-gas cylinder valve and QCC1 assembly complying
with 1.5.5-c and a safety relief device making a direct connection
with the vapor space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system
must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve.
*Special Note** All new tanks are filled with air, not
propane. Air must be purged before the tank is filled.
When purchasing an LP gas tank, be certain it meets all
standards, and allow only a qualified LP-gas dealer to fill
the propane gas cylinder.
PROPANE GAS CYLINDER
DISCONNECTED CYLINDER MUST
NOT BE
STORED IN A BUILDING, GARAGE OR ANY
OTHER ENCLOSED AREA. BEFORE LIGHTING
YOUR GRILL, INSPECT THE HOSE TO ENSURE
THAT IT IS IN TACT AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS.
All LP-gas cylinders used with this grill shall be approximately 12" in
diameter and about 18" in height. The maximum fuel capacity
must be 20 lbs. of propane (47.7 lbs. nominal water capacity or 4.5
gallons). DO NOT connect your grill to a propane gas cylinder
that exceeds this capacity.
All propane-gas cylinders used with the
grill must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for
propane-gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT). In
Canada, gas cylinders must meet CTC
specifications.
All refillable propane-gas cylinders used with the gas grill must be
inspected at every filling and must be re-qualified by a licensed
LP-gas cylinder filler in accordance with DOT (US) or CTC (Canadian)
requirements for LP-cylinders.

NATURAL GAS MODELS
Your PGS gas grill has been designed and produced for
outdoor use only! Every gas-burning appliance produces
carbon monoxide and should not be allowed to accumulate
in confined areas. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR PGS GAS GRILL
INSIDE A HOME, GARAGE, RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, BOAT
OR ANY OTHER ENCLOSED AREA.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR NATURAL GAS GRILL
USING PROPANE, CHARCOAL OR ANY OTHER FUEL SOURCE.
The grill is designed to operate on Natural Gas at a pressure of 5
1/2" water Column (W.C.) (1.75 kPa) unregulated. Check with
