Outdoor Grill Cart Manual

PORTABLE LP GAS CYLINDERS

Use only a standard 20 lb. (9.1kg) liquid propane (LP) gas cylinder - 12.25” diam. X 18.25” H

(31cm X 47cm) which features an Overfill Protection Device. The cylinder must be installed in

the upright position. Do not use a dented or rusty LP cylinder as it may be hazardous and should

be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Never move or alter

the gas fittings. Check the expiration date on the cylinder collar as well. Do not refill an expired

cylinder, it must be replaced. If you buy refilled (exchange) LP cylinders, check this date as well.

The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for

LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The cylinder must be provided

with a shut off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable,

for connection type QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet

connections ANSI/CGA-V-I.

Certain liquid propane dealers may fill LP cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling

capacity. This “overfilling” may create a dangerous condition due to a build-up of excess pressure.

As a safety device, there is a pressure relief valve which will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this

excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger,

you should take the following safety precautions:

1. When you have your cylinder filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 80%

of its total capacity.

2. If you own or use a spare cylinder, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill/cart unit

or burner box, or near any other ignition or heat source (like a water heater or furnace).

IF THE INFORMATION IN 1 AND 2 ABOVE IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE

CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.

3. The LP cylinder must be disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area, out of

the reach of children.

4. Do not store a full cylinder in direct sunlight.
