PROPANE CYLINDER FILLING AND HANDLING SAFETY TIPS

•Be certain tank is equipped with an overfill protection device.

•Do not modify hose or LP fittings. Contact a local dealer or distributor if tank, hose or fittings need replacement.

•If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being operated. Please see your local PGS dealer/distributor or call PGS for an exact replacement.

•Store propane tank outdoors in a cool, well- ventilated area. Never store extra tanks in, on, or around your grill.

•Turn off tank when not in use.

•Transport tanks upright ONLY.

•Never allow a tank to be overfilled. 100% full tank holds only 4.5 gallons of propane.

•Inspect your grill cabinet often to ensure that ventilation openings in sides and back of pedestal are free from debris and have proper air circulation.

•Never paint LP cylinder a dark color. This may cause OVERHEATING. Do not apply heat directly to tank.

•LP Gas is stored under high pressure and must be handled with care. Do not handle a tank roughly.

•You must use the "TYPE II" fill adapter that was provided with your propane grill. If unable to locate, see your local dealer, distributor or PGS.

•Be sure your LP gas dealer checks the cylinder with a soapy solution for leaks after filling.

•Do not turn gas valve on unless connection between regulator and coupler is complete.

•Storage of your gas grill indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected, removed from grill and cylinder stored outdoors.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT GRILL, BE CERTAIN THE GAS VALVE KNOBS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. TURN TANK

VALVE ON BY TURNING KNOB ON TOP OF TANK, COUNTER CLOCKWISE. CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A SOLUTION OF 50% LIQUID SOAP, 50% WATER. SOLUTION CAN BE SPRAYED ON WITH A SPRAY BOTTLE OR PAINTED ON ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A BRUSH. IF BUBBLES APPEAR THERE IS A LEAK, TURN OFF GAS, TIGHTEN FITTINGS AND REPEAT THIS CHECK.

The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP-gas supply cylinder, valve outlet specified, as applicable, for Connection No. 510 in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet

and Inlet Connections, ANSI/CGA-V-1, or Connection No. 600 in the Compressed Gas Association’s Limited Standard Cylinder Valve Outlet Connection for Propane Small Valve Series or a combination LP-gas cylinder valve and quick-disconnect assembly complying with 1.5.5-c and a safety relief device making a direct connection with the vapor space of the cylinder.

The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

**Special Note** All new tanks are filled with air, not propane. Air must be purged before the tank is filled. When purchasing an LP gas tank, be certain it meets all standards, and allow only a qualified LP-gas dealer to fill the propane gas cylinder.
