CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
LIQUID PROPANE GAS
Grills set up for liquid propane gas come equipped with
a liquid propane hose/ regulator assembly for connection
to a standard 20 lb. Liquid propane cylinder (Type 1). All
fittings necessary to attach the assembly to the grill are
included.
Permanently plumbed liquid propane connections, such as
those in line with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator.
(Lynx P/N 30781)
When using the 4/11 regulator, you must ensure that it is
set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the
regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the
plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the regulator
fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane
gas. The LP setting can be further identified by the large
diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To change
from one gas to the other, simply push the plunger to the
side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so it reads
the desired gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger
until it snaps back into place in the cap and then replace
the cap into the regulator.
NEVER CONNECT AN UNREGULATED GAS LINE TO
THE GRILL.
Liquid Propane Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of
the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed
for use with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the
provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental
movement. Make sure the hose between the grill and the
propane bottle does not touch the back or bottom of the
firebox.
When exchanging your cylinder for a refill, exchange only
for a Type 1 20lb cylinder with an over-fill protection device.
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should
be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your liquid
propane supplier.
Always check for leaks after every liquid propane cylinder
change. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
Always shut off the liquid propane gas supply at the
cylinder when the
SmartGrill is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored
outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of the
reach of children. If your
grill is stored indoors, the liquid propane cylinder must be
stored outside.
Liquid Propane Connections
Make sure the liquid propane cylinder valve is completely
closed. It is possible for the valve to be opened without
releasing gas, but as soon as you start connecting the
regulator, gas can flow from the connection.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the
black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do
not over-tighten this connection.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder
valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter-
clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.

GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued
Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or
use any other assembly than the one supplied
with your Lynx SmartGrill by Lynx™.
Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped regu-
lator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL
cylinder/valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information above is not followed exactly, a
fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
