Some LP tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front

(a). The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale (b). See Illustration.

The LP cylinder is installed inside the tank enclosure or tank cabinet, on the tank scale.

1)Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side or rear of the Weber® gas barbecue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.

2)Lift tank up into position on the tank scale.

3)Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut.

To Connect the hose to the cylinder:

4)Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.

5)Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right. Hand- tighten only.

Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.

WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak.

You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.

6)Mix soap and water.

7)Turn on the cylinder valve.

8)Check for leaks by wetting the fi tting with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.

If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fi tting. Turn the gas back on and recheck with the soap and water solution.

If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.

You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.
