TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the large thermally sensitive coupling nut is exposed to
temperatures above 115°- 150°C
(240° & 300°F)
it will soften and allow the regulator
probe to Disengage from the cylinder valve, thereby shutting off the flow of gas.
Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove the entire regulator
assembly and replace it with a new one. The cause of the excessive heat should be
determined and corrected before operating the grill/side burner again.
The regulator probe also contains a flow-sensing element, which will limit the flow of
gas to the regulator to a manageable amount (10 cubic feet per hour) in the event of a
hose or regulator failure, or a leak. If it is evident that the flow-limiting device has
activated, the cause of the excessive flow should be determined and corrected before
using your grill/side burner again.
Improper lighting procedures can also cause the flow-limiting device to activate,
resulting in reduced heat output. If this is suspected, shut off all burner controls and
cylinder valve, and carefully repeat lighting instructions step by step. Do not remove
the nut and probe and do not attempt to connect to anything other than a mating
Type I (Q.C.C.1) cylinder valve.
DANGER:
A. Never connect a propane appliance to an unregulated propane gas supply
or other gas type.
B. Do not attempt to alter the hose or regulator in any way.
C. Do not allow the hose to come in contact with any hot surfaces of the grill.
D. Visually inspect the entire length of the hose assembly before each use for
any evidence of damage (cuts, cracks, burns) or excessive wear. If found,
replace the assembly before using your grill.
E. The connection fitting must be protected when disconnected
from the LP cylinder. If the fitting is allowed to drag on the
ground, damage to the fitting may occur resulting in leaks or an
incomplete connection. Dirt could also enter the small inlet hole,
blocking gas flow completely.
