Step 15

Set LP fuel scale

You will need: LP tank (empty).

Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an empty tank.

We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing the front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated in Figure 16.

Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held up out of the way. Figure 16 (a). Lift and hook the tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel scale setting to E by turning the scale setting (top) wing nut. Figure 16 (b).

mCAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from tank scale.

After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.

Step 16

Fill LP tank

Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal which is permanently attached to the tank. If the tank manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then call Weber-Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center.

To fill, take the LP tank and filler adapter to an RV center, or look-up gas propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

mWARNING: 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.

Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.

mWARNING: 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 and an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device). Other LP tanks are not compatible with your barbecue connection.

The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).

For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see section "Operating Instructions".
