Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure: 11.0” W.C.
Note: All gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances
and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
CAUTION!
Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all grill burners and side burners, smokers, and rotisserie valves
are in the OFF position and open grill lid.
To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank
is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of of
its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig. 09) after each use and during transport
of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the
coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control
valves on the unit to the “HI” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge. Turn valves off
and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter
clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done
so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your
tank.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:
A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The cylinder that is
used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check
for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and de-
signed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the
unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly.
The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet speci-
fied, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected
and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach
of children.
Note:
When an LP unit is being directly connected to an LP house system, you must follow the natural gas hook up guidelines.
The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas pressure to 11” W.C.
The Grill comes with the LP Gas Regulator/Hose assembly installed at the factory. The assembly, along with the entire
Grill system, is leak tested. Do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the Grill during installation.
WARNING! :
1. Do not remove the Grill from the pallet until you are
ready to install.
2. Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or any other
flat surface without support. This will prevent damaging
the regulator/hose assembly by the weight of the grill.
3. Check the hose, regulator and connectors for damage.
Look for cracks, abrasions, brittleness, holes, dents and
nicks.
4. Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the Regu-
lator/Hose assembly by yourself. It must be done by a
qualified licensed technician only.
