LP TANK INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
FUELING YOUR GRILL
Before using your grill for the
first time, you need to obtain
an LP tank. New tanks can be
purchased full; empty tanks
can be refilled or exchanged.
You may choose to purchase a
spare LP tank so that you don't
run out of fuel in the middle of
cooking a meal.

m DANGER
NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near
Weber
®
gas appliances. NEVER fill the tank
beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these
statements exactly may result in a fire
causing death or serious injury.
INSTALLING THE LP TANK
LP tanks can vary based on the shape of the top collar
assembly (the metal protective ring around the tank
valve). Its shape determines how a tank will hang on the
tank scale. One type of tank mounts with the valve facing
forward (1). The other type mounts with the valve facing
away from the fuel scale (2). To properly install your
LP tank, first identify what type of tank you purchased.
Weber recommends LP tanks with a 47.6lb water
capacity. Other tanks may be acceptable for use provided
they are compatible with the appliance retention means
(tankscale).
The LP tank is installed inside the base cabinet, on the
tank scale (right side).
Prepare Grill for Tank Installation
A) Check that all burner control knobs are in the off ( )
position. Your grill was shipped with burner control
knobs in the off ( ) position, but you should check
to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing
in and turning knobs clockwise. If they do not turn,
they are off. If they do turn, continue turning them
clockwise until they stop; then they are off. If your grill
has a side burner, make sure the side burner control
knob is turned off.
B) Open base cabinet door.
Install the LP Tank
A) Loosen tank lock wing nut. Swing tank lock up(3).
B) Turn the LP tank so the opening of the valve is either
to the front or side of the Weber
®
gas grill.
m WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank
valve is closed. Close by turning valve
clockwise.
C) Lift tank up into position on the tank scale (4).
D) Swing the tank lock down. Tighten the wing nut.
Connect the Regulator / Hose to the Tank
A) Remove the plastic dust cover from the tank valve.
B) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve,
turning clockwise, or to the right (5). Hand-tighten
only.
NOTE: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow
gas to flow unless the connection is tight.
m WARNING: Do not use a wrench to
tighten the connection. Using a wrench
could damage the regulator coupling and
could cause a leak.
