OPERATION

4.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will stop gas flow. If this happens, close propane supply valve and open again slowly.

5.Check all connections for leaks.

WARNING

Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mix- ture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
