Hold coupling nut and regulator as shown for proper connection to LP tank valve.

Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator

1.Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.

2.Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tank.

3.Completely open LP tank valve by turning OPD hand wheel counterclockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding by calling Sears for replacement parts at

1-800-4-MY-HOME®.

4.Brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown in picture below:

Never remove threaded orifice at end of valve.

6.Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP tank valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.

NOTE:

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

Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®for an identical replacement part.

DANGER

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