Refilling the LP tank

We recommend that you refill before the scale indicator reaches "E".

Note - If you run out of fuel, check the indicator setting and/or adjust the fuel scale indicator setting with the scale setting wing nut, while the tank is empty so you do not run out again.

Removal of the LP tank

1)Close tank valve (turn clockwise). Figure 5 (a).

2)Slide the collar back on the quick disconnect to disengage the fitting. Figure 5 (b).

3)Loosen tank lock wing nut and turn tank lock up out of the way.

4)Lift tank off.

To refill take LP tank and tank filler adapter to a "Gas Propane" dealer.

WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is equipped with a quick-disconnect valve. Other LP tanks are not compatible with your barbecue connection.
