! DANGER
Do not insert any tool or
foreign objects into the valve
outlet or safety relief valve.
The valve may be damaged
resulting in a leak.

sion, fire, severe personal
injury, or death.
If a leak is detected at any
time, STOP and call the

! WARNING
Do not insert a POL trans-
port plug (plastic part with

Valve feature.
REGULATOR SAFETY
If regulator fails in unit, it must be
replaced with a Blackstone approved

to complete the connection.
Tighten by hand only – do not
use tools.
