NOTE: If you cannot complete connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!

WARNING

Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper trailer or motor home.

Do not use grill until leak checked.

If leak is detected at any time, STOP and call the Fire Department.

If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP tank valve and call LP gas supplier or your fire department!
