ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE

FOLLOWED TO PREVENT FIRE, DAMAGE, AND / OR INJURY.

Cylinders must be filled before initial use. All handling, transport, filling and storage of LP gas cylinders must be in accordance with NFPA 58 Storage and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gases, or CAN/CGA b149.2 Propane Installation Code.

If there is a question on the identity of your unit and of the type of fuel to be used, please look on the data plate. Units are factory equipped for use on only one type of fuel. These units cannot be, and should not be used on other type of fuels. Doing so can cause severe damage to the unit and the installation area and the added risk of serious injury. Any attempt to operate these smokers on fuels for which they are not design certified voids the manufacturer's warranty.

Gas Tank outlet must have Type 1 gas connection termination in order to mate with gas hose provided with smoker.

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied by the manufacturer with the appliance must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufacturer.

The regulator/hose assembly should be handled carefully to prevent contamination by foreign objects and dirt. The assembly should be inspected before use for evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts, leaks, and any dirt or contamination should be wiped off. In order to insure proper operation, any replacement of the fuel tank regulator assembly has to be done with parts authorized by the smoker manufacturer.

This unit is not to be utilized with a non-self-contained LP-gas supply system

Valve/pressure regulators are factory set to the correct operating pressures. No attempts should be made to adjust these settings!

Checking for Leaks

After all connections are completed, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.

-With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dishwashing detergent and water) to all gas carrying connections and fittings.

-Open tank valve.

Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective part. Do not use the smoker until all leaks are corrected.

When setting up the smoker and tank, it is recommended to have the tank and smoker on a line perpendicular to the wind direction.

The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally extended
to the maximum distance so that the hose is straight and the tank	LP Tank
is as far from the smoker as it can be.	Not Included
Keep the fuel hose away from any heated surface.
LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright position only.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose from damage
from either foot or vehicle traffic.
If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the
supply cylinder and the cylinder should be disconnected from
the appliance.

Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.

Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
