WARNINGS: LP TANK
LP TANK FILLING:
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tanks before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than
80% of LP tank volume. Volume of propane
in tanks will vary by temperature.
• A frosted regulator indicates gas overfill.
Immediately close LP tank valve and call LP
gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas
into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous
practice.
• To remove gas from an LP tank, contact an
LP dealer or your local fire department for
assistance.
LP TANK EXCHANGE:
Many retailers that sell appliances offer you
the option of replacing your empty LP tanks
through an exchange service. Use only those
reputable exchange companies that inspect,
precision-fill, test and certify their cylinders.
Exchange your tank for an OPD safety feature-
equipped tank as described under the “LP
TANK” section of this manual.
Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks
in an upright position during use, transit or
storage.
Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks
BEFORE connecting to the appliance.
LP TANK LEAK TEST:
For your safety, a leak test must be repeated
each time an LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks.
• LP tank must be leak tested outdoors in a
well-ventilated area, away from open flames
or sparks.
LP Tank Leak Test Procedure:
• Use a clean paint brush and a 50/50 soap
and water solution.
• Use mild soap and water.
Do not use
household cleaning agents.
Damage to
gas train components can result.
• Brush soapy solution onto all metal seams
and entire valve area. Any “GROWING”
bubbles indicate a gas leak.
HOSE CHECK:
Before each use, check for evidence of
abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks. If so, the hose
must be replaced prior to the appliance being
put into operation. The replacement hose
assembly must be the assembly specified by
the manufacturer.
If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a
leak. Do not use or move the LP tank.
IMMEDIATELY get away from the LP tank
and contact an LP gas supplier or your FIRE
DEPARTMENT (911).
