CONNECTING HOSE AND REGULATOR:
1. Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or
deterioration prior to use. A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas
leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, re or severe bodily harm. Do
not use a propane tank with a damaged rubber seal.
2. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when cylinder is
at rest in tank holder.
3. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
4. Check that the grill’s burner control knobs are in the “OFF” positions.
5. Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear, or
deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your grill. Only the manufacturer’s supplied
replacement should be used.
6. Remove the protective plastic cap from the cylinder valve.
7. Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not contact sharp edges, and does not contact
surfaces that may become hot during use.
8. Hold regulator and insert the brass nipple into the LP cylinder valve outlet. Ensure that the device is
centered properly.
9. Turn the large coupling nut clockwise by hand and tighten to a full stop. Take care not to cross thread
the coupling nut onto the cylinder valve. Do not use tools to tighten connection.
Note: If you are unable to make the connection, repeat Steps 7 and 8.
10. Leak check all ttings before lighting your grill. See section on “Leak Testing” in this manual.
