• Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada)

To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company.

This grill was not intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line.

•FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as garage,

shed or breezeway.

•Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to

prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. We recommend your grill

be situated at least 10 feet from buildings.

•Maintain a minimum clearance of 24 inches (60 cm) between all sides of grill and walls or other

combustible material.

•DO NOT install in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat.

The cylinder must also be equipped with:

•A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.

•A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained.

•An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.

•A collar to protect the cylinder shut off valve.

•A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

•A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).

•Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.

•Handle the tank with care.

•Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.

•Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your grill.

•DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.

•DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill.

•DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity.

•Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that accompany this

product.

•Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill when in use. This could cause

excess pressure to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or

severe personal injury including death.

NOTE: PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS.

PROPER VENTILATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

•DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage to the back-check could

result. A damaged back-check can cause a leak, possibly resulting in explosion, fire, severe

bodily harm, or death.

WARNING

DANGER

WARNING

FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:

•Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.

•New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.

•DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a

dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel

propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or

flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.

•Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.

•If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has

a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).

INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER ONTO THE GRILL:

1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the

knob clockwise.

to allow the bracket to move up and down freely.

3. Place the cylinder onto the support bracket.

4. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces

the front of the grill.

5. The tank clamp bracket should slide upward and hook

inside one of the openings on the top flange of the tank.

6. Fully tighten both wing nuts to secure the tank.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:

Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:

1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.

NOTE: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.

2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is subject to temperatures above 240°F and

300°F (115°C and 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and throw it away.

A replacement regulator assembly can be purchased by contacting Brinkmann at 1-800-527-0717.

The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.

3. A flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
