CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

Connecting to Portable 20 lb. Propane/LP Gas Supply

CAUTION: Never connect ap- pliance directly to the propane/ LP supply. This appliance re- quires an external regulator. In- stall the external regulator be- tween the appliance and the pro- pane/LP supply.

Use the hose/regulator assembly, tank secure- ment bracket, tank strap, carriage bolt, wing nut, and cable tie supplied with your appliance.

1.	Thread cable tie through 2 holes in bot-
	tom of tank securement bracket. Tie
	should be threaded from underneath
	bracket to be accessible when bracket is
	in position on the ground (see Figure 2).
	Do not close cable tie at this time.
2.	Position the firepit and tank securement
	bracket as shown in Figure 2. Center
	the appliance hose and brass fitting be-
	tween the front tabs of securement
	bracket. Lift the firepit and slide the rear
	tabs of the bracket under the firepit. The
	front tabs of the bracket will remain on
	the outside of the firepit on either side
	of the appliance hose.
3. Set a filled 20 lb. propane/LP tank
	against the outside of the tank secure-
	ment bracket with the tank valve point-

7.Slip the lighting and warning hang tags between the hose and tank bracket for easy reference.

8.Open supply valve on propane/LP tank slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, ex- cess flow check valve on propane/LP tank will stop gas flow. If this happens, close propane supply valve and open again slowly.

9.Check all connections for leaks. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

10.Close propane/LP supply valve.

Note: When operating with a full 20 lb. tank, your firepit will run between 5 and 9 hours depending on flame setting and out- side temperature.
