Weber 650 Safe Handling Tips for Liquid Propane GAS Cylinders, Improper Filling is Dangerous

Page 12

Hook the liquid propane cylinder onto the fuel gauge. Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut.

Remove plastic dust cover from the fuel cylinder valve. Screw the regulator coupling onto the cylinder valve(1), clockwise, or to the right. Hand tighten only.

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 gas leak.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.

LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.

To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up "gas-propane" in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.

IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder, make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible with your barbecue connection.

Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a

car on a hot day).

Note - A refill will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

Treat "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.

CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve.

Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one

immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.

Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

The LP cylinder and connections supplied with your Weber Gas Barbecue have been designed and tested to meet government, American Gas Association, and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.
