• Check to be sure that cylinders have a D.O.T.
certification 1, and that they have been date

supplier can do this for you.
• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar
to protect the cylinder valve.
• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approxim-
tely 18 inches high and 12 inches in diameter.
• The cylinder must be constructed and marked

Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation

Check that all Burner Valves are Off
Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you
should check to be sure that they are turned off.
Check by pushing down and turning clockwise.
If they do not turn, they are off. If they do turn,
continue turning them clockwise until they stop,
then they are off.
The Liquid Propane Cylinder
All Otto Wilde Grillers LP gas grill regulators
are equipped with a UL-listed tank connection
as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.89. This will
require a liquid propane tank that is similarly equip-
ped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve.
This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast
and totally safe hookup between your gas grill
and your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the
chance of leaks
due to a POL fitting that is not
properly tightened. Gas
will not flow from the tank
unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged into the
coupling.

ames can trigger an explosion, which could lead to serious or even fatal injuries or
material damage.
