LP Tank Exchange Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank
' Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill
test and certify their cylinders.
Exchange your tank only for
an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as described in the
"LP Tank" section of this manual.
’ Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
' Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged
or refilled r
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open
flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water
solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows
in figure below. Leaks are indicated by growing bubbles.
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP tank
