HOSE AND REGULATOR:
Your fryer is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with
the following features:
1.
The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until
a positive connection to the valve has been made.
NOTE
:
The cylinder valve must be turned off before any
connection is made or removed.
2.
A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the
device is subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F
(115°C to 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and dispose of
properly. A replacement regulator assembly can be purchased by contacting Brinkmann at
1-800-527-0717. The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before
using your fryer again.
3.
A flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. To
purge flow limiting device, turn cylinder valve off on propane tank, disconnect Type 1 coupling
from propane tank. Wait 5 minutes to allow all gas to disperse. Reconnect Type 1 coupling to
LP cylinder and turn LP cylinder valve on slowly.
•
Never use your fryer without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the
section on "Gas Leak Testing" in this manual for proper procedures.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas fryer is designed to
work with an LP gas supply cylinder.
•
DO NOT attempt to connect it to any other fuel supply source such as a natural gas
line.
•
DO NOT use any other pressure regulator/hose assembly other than the one supplied with
your fryer.
•
DO NOT attempt to adjust or repair the regulator. A replacement regulator can be
supplied by contacting Brinkmann. The regulator is designed to operate at a maximum
output pressure of 15 psi ( pounds/square inch).
During assembly and/or replacement of the LP cylinder, keep the gas supply hose free of kinks
and/or damage.
Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear, or
deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your fryer. Only the Brinkmann
supplied replacement should be used.
