14 | CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY |
Some LP tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front
(a). The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale (b). Weber recommends the use of cylinder manufacturer’s Manchester and Worthington, with a
47.6lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (see illustrations).
The LP cylinder is installed inside the tank enclosure or tank cabinet, on the tank scale.
1)Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side or rear of the Weber® gas barbecue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.
2)Lift tank up into position on the tank scale.
3)Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut.

TO CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE CYLINDER:
4)Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.
5)Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right. Hand- tighten only.
Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.
WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.
6) Check for gas leaks.

•Check all gas fittings for leaks.
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
DANGER
