Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid propane gas has a long history of safe use
when the safety precautions provided in this
manual are followed.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING
PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled,
stored, and transported with extreme caution in a
secured upright position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas
cylinder that has been damaged. Never attempt
to use or repair a cylinder with a faulty or damaged
valve outlet. A cylinder that has been dropped,
dented, or otherwise damaged must be replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be
transported in the passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never
apply any other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a
reputable, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas
cylinder is filled by weight, and should never
exceed eighty (80%) percent of its weight limit. If
the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas
dealer must make necessary adjustments to
ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an overfilled
Propane gas cylinder.
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well
ventilated area if the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded
valve plug tightly installed and must not be stored
in any building, garage, or other area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.)
must not be stored in the cylinder enclosure.
