LP Tank Exchange
• 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 tanks. 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.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on
the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage
of propane.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged
or refilled.
• 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.
Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
A Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas
valve/hose/regulator components can result.
Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank
1. LP tank must be properly secured onto grill. (Refer to
assembly section.)
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel clockwise to
a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use
cap and strap supplied with valve.
Do not insert a POL transport plug
(plastic part with external threads)
into the Type 1 tank valve outlet.
It will defeat the Safety Relief
Valve feature.
