8. Connecting LP Gas Tank to LP Grill
(a)From front of the cart, place foot ring of 20 lb tank into the hole in bottom panel. Make sure the tank valve is in OFF position. Use the tank bolt to secure the tank in a fixed position (Fig.19).
(b)Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper external mating threads to fit the hose and pressure regulator assembly provided.
(c)Make sure all burner valves are in OFF position.
(d)Inspect the valve connection port and pressure regulator assembly. Look for damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never use damaged or plugged equipment.
(e)When connecting pressure regulator and hose assembly to tank valve, hand tighten quick coupling nut clockwise to a full stop. (Fig.20) Do not use a wrench to tighten because it could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
(f)Slowly open tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all connections for leaks before attempting to light your grill (see next page for gas leak check instructions). If a leak is found, turn tank valve off and do not use your grill until the leak is repaired.
CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, gas must be turned off at the supply tank.
DISCONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE
CYLINDER
Turn the grill burner valves “OFF” and make sure the grill is cool.
Turn the Liquid Propane Cylinder valve “OFF” by turning clockwise until it stops.
Detach the pressure regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
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.
