1) Make sure tank valve is in its full off position (turn clockwise to stop).
2) Check tank valve to assure it has proper external male threads (type I connection per ANSIZ21.81).
3) Make sure all burner knobs are in their off position.
4) Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.

debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never attempt to use damaged or plugged equipment. Contact your
local LP gas dealer for repair.
6) When connecting regulator assembly to the valve, hand tighten nut clockwise to a positive stop. Do
not use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage quick coupling nut and result in a
hazardous condition.
7) Open tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all connections for
leaks before attempting to light grill. If a leak is found, turn tank valve off and do not use grill until a
local L.P gas dealer can make repairs.
WARNING
 Never insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. It may damage the valve and cause leak, leaking
gas may result in fire, explosion, heavy body injury, or even death.
 Do not connect this grill to the self-contained LP gas system of a motor home or camper trailer.
 Do not use this grill until leak tested.
 STOP and call the fire department if any leaks are detected.
 If you cannot stop a gas leak, close the LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY, call LP gas supplier or the fire
department.
 Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
DANGER
 NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in an enclosed area.
 NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full. An overfilled spare LP tank is dangerous because surplus gas may
leak from safety relief valve. The safety relief valve on a LP tank could activate to release gas and cause
a fire.
 The spare LP tank must have safety caps installed on the LP tank outlet. If any gas leaks are found on the
spare LP tank, immediately step away from the grill, and call the fire department.
