Propane Models:
Your Barbecue is designed to operate on L.P gas at a pressure of 2.74Kpa (11” water column). A regulator preset to this
pressure is supplied with
your Barbecue.
Hose and Regulator comes equipped with the following:
Type 1 quick closing connection system which incorporates the following
safety features:
• Will limit the gas ow until a POSITIVE CONNECTION has been made
• Has a THERMAL COMPONENT that will automatically shut o the ow of gas
if a temperature of 115-150°C (240-300°F) is reached.
• Has a Flow Limiting Feature, which will restrict the ow of gas to 10 cubic ft/ hour
in the event of a leak, improper lighting procedure, or regulator malfunction.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder
1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill.
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap
supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand tighten the
coupling nut. Hold the regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder valve so
as not to cross-thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal
on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in some resistance.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat
steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not
use this regulator!
DANGER
Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the
valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, re, severe personal injury, or death.

immediately. There is a leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding.
4. Brush soapy solution onto hose and regulator and all connections from the LP tank to the main and side burner manifold.
5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP cylinder valve immediately and re-tighten connections. If leaks
