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

WARNING

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

Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper trailer or motor home.

Do not use grill until leak-tested.

If a leak is detected at any time, STOP and call the fire department.

If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP tank valve and call LP gas supplier or your fire department!
