L.P. GAS CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS

Any L.P. gas-supply cylinder used with this grill must be approximately 12 inches diameter and 18 inches high. The maxi- mum fuel capacity must be 20 pounds of propane. Full-cylinder weight should be approximately 38 pounds (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity).

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P gas-cylin- der-valve outlet. A Type 1 compatible cylin- der with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a posi- tive seating connection that does not permit gas flow until a positive seal has been ob- tained.

The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a Collar to protect the cylinder valve. A safety-reIief device having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder must be provid- ed. This will expel high-pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or overheated.

All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appli- ance shall be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Stan- dard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling-prevention device. Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply cylinder.

DANGER: Do not insert any foreign ob- jects into the valve outlet. You may damage the back check. A damaged back check can cause a leak, which could result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to fill or repair an L.P. gas-supply cylinder.

Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled. Caution the gas dealer not to overfill the fuel cylinder.

After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and that the relief valve remains free to function.

Have the gas dealer weigh cylinder after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not over- filled.

DANGER:

a.) Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

b.) Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

c.) If the information in “(a.)” and “(b.)” is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

TRANSPORTING A FULL CYLINDER

WARNING! Handle a full cylinder with care. Gas is under high pressure.

You should transport only one cylinder at a time. Transport the cylinder in an upright and secure manner with control valve turned off and the POL plug in place.

Do not transport cylinder in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.

Do not leave cylinder in direct sunlight or in a high-heat area such as a closed car trunk. High-heat areas could cause the relief valve to vent gas.

Use a cylinder cap on cylinder-valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not connected to grill. Keep cylinder valve closed when not in use.
