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 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.

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.

￿Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result.

WARNING

If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

Strap and Cap

Do not use a POL transport plug (plastic part with external threads)! It will defeat the safety feature of the valve.

5.Make sure hose and regulator pass UNDER hose bracket on cart (see last assembly step). Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP tank valve. Hand-tighten the coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line with LP tank valve so as not to cross-thread the connection.

Nipple has to be centered into the LP tank valve.
