PGS S27R, S36 Propane Cylinder Filling & Handling Tips, Propane GAS Cylinder, Natural GAS Models

Operating your grill at pressure higher or lower than recommended may damage the grill or result in a hazard or poor performance.

A regulator adjusted to this pressure must be installed in the gas supply line before the grill is connected to the propane source. PGS propane gas grills include a 11” W.C. regulator and a “TYPE I “ Cylinder Connection Device. This system complies with the specifications and requirements of ANSI Z21.58b standards. This system can only be used with a QCC Type I tank. Our hoses include an excess flow safety system that will stop the flow of gas to your grill in the event of leaking gas or a damaged hose.

PLEASE NOTE. In the event that you inadvertently have the valves of your grill turned to the “ON” position, and then open the valve on top of your tank, the excess flow device will activate and shut off the flow of gas. If this should occur, turn the valves to the “OFF” position on your grill head then the valve on the tank “OFF”.

Wait five minutes before attempting to light. Always turn on the valve at the top of your tank and then the valves to your grill head to the “ON” position. The safety system detailed above has been incorporated into your PGS gas grill to provide you and your family the maximum in safety when operating the grill.

PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE LP HOSE OR USE WITH A TANK LARGER THAN 20 LBS. OR TO A TANK EQUIPPED WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN A QCCI FITTING. TURN VALVE THAT IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF TANK TO “OFF” WHEN GRILL IS NOT IN USE.

PROPANE CYLINDER FILLING & HANDLING

TIPS

When the hose and regulator are disconnected from the tank, the flow of gas is safely shut off. You must still shut off the main tank valve located at the top of the tank when transporting your tank or when the unit is not in use.

•Do not modify hose or LP fittings. Contact local dealer or distributor if tank, hose or fittings need replacement.

•If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being operated. Please see your local PGS dealer or call the factory for an exact replacement.

•Store propane tank outdoors in a cool, well ventilated area. Never store extra tanks in, on, or around your grill.

•Turn off tank when not in use.

•Transport tanks upright ONLY.

•Never allow a tank to be overfilled. 100% empty tanks hold only 4.5 gallons of propane.

•Inspect your grill cabinet often to ensure that ventilation openings in sides and back of cart are free from debris and have proper air circulation.

•Never paint LP cylinder a dark color. This may cause OVERHEATING. Do not apply heat directly to tank.

•LP Gas is stored under high pressure and must be handled with care. Do not handle a tank roughly.

•Be sure your LP gas dealer checks the cylinder with a soapy solution for leaks after filling.

•Do not turn gas valve on unless connection between regulator and tank is complete.

•Storage of your gas grill indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected, removed from grill and cylinder stored outdoors.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT GRILL, BE CERTAIN THE GAS VALVE KNOBS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. TURN

TANK VALVE ON BY TURNING KNOB ON TOP OF TANK, COUNTER CLOCKWISE. CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A SOLUTION OF 50% LIQUID SOAP, 50% WATER.

SOLUTION CAN BE SPRAYED ON WITH A SPRAY BOTTLE OR PAINTED ON ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A BRUSH. IF BUBBLES APPEAR THERE IS A LEAK, TURN OFF GAS, TIGHTEN FITTINGS AND REPEAT THIS CHECK.

The cylinder must be provided with a shutoff valve terminating in an LP-gas supply cylinder, valve outlet specified, as applicable, for Connection No. 510 in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections, ANSI/CGA-V-1, or Connection No. 600 in the Compressed Gas Association’s Limited Standard Cylinder Valve Outlet Connection for Propane Small Valve Series or a combination LP-gas cylinder valve and QCC1 assembly complying with 1.5.5-c and a safety relief device making a direct connection with the vapor space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

*Special Note** All new tanks are filled with air, not propane. Air must be purged before the tank is filled. When purchasing an LP gas tank, be certain it meets all standards, and allow only a qualified LP-gas dealer to fill the propane gas cylinder.
