L.P. TANK INFORMATION

Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Preven�on Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a 

cylinder a�er 80% capacity is reached. This limits the poten�al for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, 

aver�ng a fire or possible injury.

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve termina�ng in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, 

for connec�on No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connec�on ANSI/CGA-V-1. 

Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an 

overfill protec�on device and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)

The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifica�ons for L.P. gas 

cylinders  of  the  U.S.  Department  of  Transporta�on  (DOT)  or  the  Na�onal  Standard  of  Canada,  CAN/CAS-B339, 

“Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transporta�on of Dangerous Goods and Commission.”

L.P. TANK USE

When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to ensure proper 

gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is 

allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing 

the safety device to ac�vate, and restric�ng gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will ensure 

this safety feature is not falsely triggered.

•   When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the OFF posi�on.
•   Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and    

removed from the appliance.

•   The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
•   The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion  

or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.

•   Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or  

any other enclosed area.

If this informa�on is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

•   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.

•   Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the 
 

L.P. tank.

DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas tank under or near the 

grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.

If this informa�on is not followed exactly, a fire 

causing death or serious injury may occur.
