WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE SMARTGRILL BY LYNX™. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST
BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX GRILLS SUPPLIES THE
CORRECT REGULATOR FOR USE WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The SmartGrill by Lynx™ is factory set to use either
liquid propane or natural gas. It is critical that the gas
you use matches that for which the grill was set up. You
can verify this by checking the rating plate.
The rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and
gas type and is located in one or more of the following
places:
• Attached to the underside of the drip tray
• On the back of the Care & Use manual
• On the PC case
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill with any
gas other than that for which the grill has been set.

Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been
tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate.
GAS CONVERSION KITS
Gas conversion kits are available from Lynx grills to allow
the SmartGrill by Lynx™ to operate on either natural gas
or liquid propane gas. These kits should be installed by a
qualified technician.
The kits come with complete installation instructions. These
instructions should be read completely and fully.
All installation and all installation parts must conform to local
codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada.
Canadian installations must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2
natural gas/propane installation code. (Canada)
NATURAL GAS
Lynx Grills recommends that only qualified professionals
perform the required plumbing on this product.
To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line
must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements
of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that
line.
In no case should pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1”
outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.
• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and
refer to “INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run
distances for ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum
requirements may reduce performance of the grill and
any other appliances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See
INDEX: “BTU Output” for specific model outputs)
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily
accessible location by a qualified plumber.
• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice. Do not use
threading compound on any flare fittings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any flexible
pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See INDEX: “Gas
Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)
For freestanding units using natural gas or hard piped LP gas,
Lynx strongly recommends using a quick disconnect kit.
This Quick Disconnect Kit (part #LQD) is available from Lynx
or your dealer.
