Fill liquid propane cylinder
Note - The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the cylinder. If the cylinder has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the cylinder, call the cylinder manufacturer’s customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal, which is permanently attached to the cylinder. If the cylinder manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.
To fill, take the liquid propane cylinder and filler adapter to an RV center or look up
WARNING: We recommend that your liquid propane cylinder be filled at an authorized liquid propane gas dealer by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
Tell your liquid propane dealer that this is a new liquid propane cylinder. The air must be removed from a new liquid propane cylinder before the initial filling. Your liquid propane cylinder dealer is equipped to do this. The liquid propane cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position, and should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the liquid propane cylinder in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of liquid propane cylinders, see Section “Operating”.
Connecting the Liquid Propane Cylinder
WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or flames will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the 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. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated below.
You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
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)Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut.
To Connect the hose to the cylinder:
3)Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.
4)Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right.
Note: This is a new type of connection. It 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.
Checking the fuel level in your tank
Check the fuel level by viewing the color indicator level
line on the side of the tank scale. |
