Transporting a Full Cylinder

The L.P. gas cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P. gas- cylinder-valve outlet. A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a positive seating connection that does not permit gas flow until a positive seal has been obtained.

The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. A safety-relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder must be provided. This will expel high-pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or overheated.

Have the gas dealer weigh the cylinder after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not overfilled.

DANGER:

a.) Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

b.) Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

c.) If the information in (a.) and (b.) Is not followed exactly, a fire causing serious injury or death may occur.

All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall 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/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling-prevention device. Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply cylinder.

DANGER: Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the back check, A damaged back check can cause a leak, which could result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.

Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to fill or repair an L.P. gas-supply cylinder.

Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled. Caution the gas dealer not to overfill the fuel cylinder.

After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and that the relief valve remains free to function.

WARNING: Handle a full cylinder with care. Gas is under high pressure.

You should transport only one cylinder at a time. Transport the cylinder in an upright and secure manner with the control valve turned off and the POL dust cap in place.

Do not transport a cylinder in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.

Do not leave cylinder in direct sunlight or in a high-heat area such as a closed car trunk. High-heat areas could cause the relief valve to vent gas.

Use a cylinder cap on the cylinder-valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not connected to the grill. Keep cylinder valve closed when not in use.
