(1)
(2)
Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when
the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the
cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.

CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make

sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve.

This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion

of the valve.

Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or
LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be
replaced with a new one immediately.
Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)
The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested
each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time
the LP cylinder is refi lled.
Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed
downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt,
grease, bugs etc.
The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue have been
designed and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.

WARNING: Replacement LP tanks must match the

regulator connection supplied with this barbecue.
