Sure Heat 2008 Four Seasons FSIS - Manual (Page 8)

Gas Requirements
L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Four Seasons™ Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator
assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a
replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by Four Seasons™).
This assembly is
designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P.
Cylinders they can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas
to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is
heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified,
as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet
connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The
L.P. cylinder must have an overfill protection device, OPD, and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P.
gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/
CAS-B339, “ Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure
proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the
tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly
may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low
flames. Opening the valve slowly will insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “ OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive
abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage
or any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P.
tank.
• 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.

WARNING
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near
the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a
fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
