Propane gas cylinders should always be handled,

stored, and transported with extreme caution in a se-

cured upright position.

Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder

that has been damaged. Never attempt to use or repair

a cylinder with a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A

cylinder that has been dropped, dented, or otherwise

damaged must be replaced.

A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in

the passenger area of a vehicle.

Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply

any other source of direct heat to them.

When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a repu-

table, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder

is filled by weight, and should never exceed eighty

(80%) percent of its weight limit. If the cylinder is not

completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary

adjustments to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an

overfilled Propane gas cylinder.

Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated

area if the cylinder is attached to it.

Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve

plug tightly installed and must not be stored in any

building, garage, or other area.

Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must

not be stored in the cylinder enclosure.

Always store propane cylinders in a secured upright

position, out of the reach of children.
