LP GAS CYLINDER PLACEMENT:  
Cylinders must be installed according to assembly instructions. Install the gas cylinder into the tank hole  
inside of the Jackson Pedestal.  
LP GAS CYLINDER:  
QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling  
Your grill is designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder equipped with the new QCC-1 Quick Closing  
Coupling system. The QCC-1 system incorporates new safety features required by the Canadian Standards  
Steering Committee and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).  
ƒ
ƒ
Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made.  
A thermal element will shut off flow of gas between 240  
degrees and 300 degrees F. When activated, a flow-limiting  
device will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.  
The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill. Be  
sure to purchase one with the QCC valve. The external threads  
the inlet port of the valve recognize this valve. QCC equipped  
cylinders are available from your gas grill dealer. Any attempt to  
on  
connect the regulator, by use of adapters or any other means, to any other valve could result in  
damage or fire, and may negate the important safety features designed into the QCC-1 system.

HANDLING:  
1. Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas cylinders. You must take your new cylinder to an LP  
gas dealer for filling.  
2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure. Always handle with care and transport in the upright  
position. Protect the valve from accidental damage.  
3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the regulator. Fasten the cylinder securely during  
transport, use and storage.  
4. If the cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and  
have it checked before using it again.  
STORAGE:  
1. Store the LP gas cylinders outdoors in a well-ventilated area.  
2. Do not store the LP gas cylinders in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or combustion.  
3. If you intend to store your grill indoors, disconnect and remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected  
cylinders must have plugs installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed  
area.  
4. Keep out of reach of small children.  
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the LP gas cylinder must be stored outside in a  
well-ventilated area.  
6. Keep the ventilation openings for the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.  
OPERATION:  
1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP cylinder without the regulator provided, and never to an  
unregulated gas supply. The gas regulator supplied with the appliance must be used.  
2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the  
appliance. See “leak testing”.  
3. Do not operate the appliance if the smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish all flame and determine the  
source of LP gas before proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance until the LP gas leak has been found  
and sealed.  
4. Always shut off the LP gas cylinder valve when the appliance is not in use.

OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER:  
Effective January 1, 1998, the standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/CAN CGA-1.6, requires that  
appliances are to be used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention  
Device (OPD).  
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overfilling of propane  
cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw  
propane. The new OPD causes a slower purge / fill operation. Some  
consumers have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders are  
“defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling stations may not be  
aware of this new device and its effects on the purge / fill operation.  
IDENTIFICATION:  
To identify these cylinders, the new OPD hand wheel has been standardized  
to the shape shown.  
HOSE AND REGULATOR:  
1. The QCC coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting Device which will limit the flow of gas should there  
be a leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will activate if the cylinder valve is  
opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off before the cylinder  
valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.  
2. The QCC coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the  
QCC cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240 degrees and 300 degrees F.  
Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove the hose / regulator assembly and  
replace with a new one.  
The pressure regulator is set at 11” (water column) and is for use with LP  
3. gas only. The hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modifications or  
substitutions should be attempted.  
4. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including  
the base of the grill.  
5. Inspect the seal in the QCC cylinder valve when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year, which  
ever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks, creases or abr  
6. Inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If the hose is cracked, cut, damaged or abraded in  
any way, the appliance must not be operated.  
7. For repair or replacement of hose / regulator assembly, contact your dealer or approved service center.  
CONNECTION:  
1. Be sure the cylinder valve and appliance valves are “off”.  
2. Place full LP gas cylinder on tank ring bracket.  
3. Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place.  
Using the other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until  
there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten  
only. When making the connection, hold the regulator in a straight line with the cylinder valve, so  
as not to cross thread the connection.  
6
 
4. Leak test the connection. See “leak test”.  
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the  
Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open the cylinder  
valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow  
Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn off  
cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to  
allow the device to reset, open cylinder valve slowly,  
then open the appliance valve.

SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.  
LEAK TEST:  
1. DO NOT USE OR PERMIT SOURCES OF IGNITION IN THE AREA WHILE DOING THE LEAK TEST.  
THIS INCLUDES SMOKING.  
2. Leak testing should be done once per year or whenever the LP gas cylinder or any other gas system part  
is replaced, whichever is more frequent.  
3. The leak testing solution should be half liquid detergent and half water.  
4. Apply the solution to the LP gas delivery system at points shown in the illustration.  
5. Bubbles in the soap solution indicate that a leak is present.  
6. The leak(s) must be stopped by tightening the loose joints, if possible, or by replacing the faulty parts(s)  
with the part(s) recommended by the appliance manufacturer.  
THE APPLIANCE IS NOT TO BE USED UNTIL ANY LEAK IS CORRECTED.  
A gas appliance repairman or LP gas dealer should be called if attempts to stop the leak(s) are unsuccessful  
and, in such case, the LP gas supply must be shut off at the cylinder valve or the cylinder must be removed  
from the appliance until the leak(s) is corrected.
