2. Attach the gas regulator to the gas bottle connector. Hand-tighten the nut then use an appropriate
wrench to tighten an additional 3/4 turn.
3. Check for leaks at the high-pressure side of the regulator and in the connector.
a.) Turn the regulator control knob fully counterclockwise.
b.) Slowly open the gas bottle shut-off valve then close it.
