LP Tank Removal, Transport and Storage
 
• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling 
nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to 
disconnect. Lift LP tank wire upward off of LP tank collar, then 
lift LP tank up and off of support bracket. Install safety cap 
onto LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with 
valve. 
Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in 
serious personal injury and/or property damage. 
 
 
 
 
• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must 
have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP 
tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, 
covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank inside 
a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun. 
• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.
 
LP Cylinder 
• The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the 
following requirements:
 
• Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12" 
(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) 
capacity maximum.
 
• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance 
with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, 
cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous 
goods. Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for 
marking.
 
• LP cylinder valve must have: 
• Type 1 outlet compatible with 
regulator or grill. 
• Safety relief valve. 
• UL listed Overfill Protection 
Device (OPD). This OPD safety 
feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use 
only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.
 
• LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and 
include collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP 
cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) 
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. 
For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to 
rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled. 
• 
LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly 
when mixed with air. 
 
LP Cylinder Filling
 
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers. 
• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling. 
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP 
cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by 
temperature. 
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP 
cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance. 
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. 
This is a hazardous practice.
 
• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call 
a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone 
directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP 
dealers.
 
 
USE AND CARE
 
OPD Hand Wheel 
LP cylinder in upright position for vapor withdrawal
 
LP Tank Valve 
Safety Cap 
Retainer Strap 
 
 
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near     
the grill appliance or in an enclosed area. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full. 
• If the information in the two points above is not 
followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious 
injury may occur. 
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a 
hazard due to possible gas release from the 
safety relief valve. This could cause an intense 
fire with risk of property damage, serious injury 
or death. 
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, 
immediately get away from the LP cylinder and
 
grill appliance and call your fire department.
