CAUTION
Have the gas dealer weigh the cylinder after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not over filled.
Hose and Regulator
The Type 1 connection system has the following features:
1.The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made.
NOTE: The cylinder control valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.
2.The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas in the event of a fire.
3.The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
4.NEVER use grill without leak testing this connection.
WARNING
•DO NOT attempt to adjust the regulator as this could create a situation causing personal injury or property damage.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly with the Type 1 fitting supplied with the appliance must be used. Do not use another hose and regulator assembly other than the one supplied with the grill or a Coleman® replacement pressure regulator assembly. The pressure regulator and hose assembly provided is factory set at an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column (1/2 psi).
•Keep the small vent hole in the regulator clean of dirt and debris (see item [G], Fig. 14).
•Consult your L.P. gas dealer if you think the regulator is not working properly.
WARNING
During assembly of the grill and when attaching or replacing the L.P. gas cylinder, insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks and/or damage and is at least 3 inches away from hot surfaces such as the grill housing.
Transporting the Cylinder
•Transport only one cylinder at a time.
•Transport the cylinder in an upright and secure manner with a control valve turned off and the cap in place.
•DO NOT transport the cylinder in the passenger compartment, unless you have an open window ventilation.
•DO NOT leave the cylinder in direct sunlight or in a high heat area such as a closed car trunk. High heat areas could cause the relief valve to vent gas.
•Use a cylinder cap on the cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not connected to the grill.
•Keep the cylinder valve closed when not in use.
•Take the cylinder directly home after it has been filled.

Transporting the Cylinder (continued)
WARNING
Handle a full cylinder with care. Gas is under high pressure.
DANGER
•NEVER store a spare L.P. gas supply cylinder under the grill body or inside the grill enclosure or in the vicinity of any heat producing appliance. (Fig. 16)
•NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
Failure to follow this information exactly could result in an explosion and/or fire causing death or serious injury.

Filling and Purging Type 1
L.P. Gas Cylinders
Take these instructions to the L.P. gas dealer.
DANGER
Purging and filling of L.P. Gas cylinders must be performed by personnel who have been thoroughly trained in accepted L.P. Gas industry procedures. Failure to follow this instruction may result in explosion, fire, serious personal injury, or death.
•When using cylinder exchange: If your grill is equipped with a Type 1 cylinder, be sure the exchanged cylinder is a Type 1 cylinder, as a 510 POL cylinder will not fit Type 1 regulator.
•This tank is easily filled with a standard CGA 510 POL filling connection. (Fig. 17)
•New cylinders must be purged before filling. Tell your L.P. Gas dealer if your cylinder is new and has not been previously filled. The L.P. Gas cylinder has a Type 1 cylinder valve with a back- check module in its outlet which will not permit gas to flow until an evacuation device is installed. To purge the L.P. Gas cylinder, the
