Connecting Your Grill to a Propane Cylinder:
1.
Make sure tank valve is in its full off position (turn clockwise to stop).
2.
Check tank valve to ensure that is equipped with external (male) threads (i.e. QCC-1 type connecter).
3.
Make sure all burner knobs are in their off position.
4.
Remove the protective dust cap from the cylinder valve. Always reuse dust cap when storing a cylinder.
5.
Inspect valve connection port and regulator; look for any damage or debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never
attempt to use damaged or plugged cylinders. Contact your local propane gas dealer for repair.
6.
When connecting the regulator to the valve, hand-tighten the black plastic Quick Coupling Connecter (QCC)
nut clockwise to a positive stop. Do not use a wrench to tighten as this may damage the nut and cause leaks.
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.
