LP Tank Exchange
•
Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange
service. Use only those reputable exchange
companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify
their tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD
safety feature-equipped tank as described in the
"LP Tank” section of this manual.
•
Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in
upright position during use, transit or storage.
•
Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
•
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.
LP Tank Leak Test

exchanged or refilled.
