CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY
GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The grill is set and tested with ULPG gas only. The regulator supplied for use with ULPG gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose
must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) (Diameter: 318 mm, Height: 475 mm) LP gas tank.
Contact your gas supplier for a special regulator
for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion
or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used. Only use replacement
regulators compliant with AS 4621 and hoses to AS/NZS 1869.
INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER
1. From the side of the cart, rest the 9 kg (20 lbs) (Diameter: 318 mm, Height:
475 mm) tank onto the ground. Make sure the tank valve is in OFF position.
Ensure the tank is completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the
gas tank is not installed properly.
2. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning the
knob clockwise to the OFF position.
3. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening and the top of
the gas cylinder. Save the caps.
4. Check seals are intact and in good condition before inserting into cylinder
valve. For Type 21 connections that fit inside the cylinder valve turn the inlet
anti-clockwise until firm. Hand-tighten only.

PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING:
WARNING: NEVER USE YOUR GRILL WITHOUT LEAK TESTING ALL GAS CONNECTIONS, HOSES AND PROPANE TANK.
DANGER: TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD:
• Do not smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Perform test OUTDOORS in a well ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
• Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
• Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or while grill is still hot.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
• After assembling your grill and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.
• Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected or replaced.
CHECK FOR LEAKS
CAUTION: Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of propane by smell. Use caution
and common sense when testing for leaks.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that is quiet, out of wind, and has adequate lighting in order to see if
bubbles are developing or so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
1. Create a mixture 50% water and 50% liquid dish washing soap.
2. Open the lid.
3. Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
