To refill, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
Removal of the gas supply cylinder:
A) Shut off gas supply and disconnect hose and regulator assembly from the cylinder.
Follow one of the specific regulator connection instructions illustrated based on your
regulator type.
a) Unscrew regulator fitting from tank turning anti-clockwise
(1).
b) Unscrew regulator fitting from tank turning clockwise
(2) (3).
c) Move regulator lever

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are petrol and natural gas. LP
gas is a gas at normal temperature and pressure. Under moderate pressure, inside a
cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vapourises
and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odour similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odour.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent
dispersion.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP
cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 51°C (too hot
to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).
• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank
is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the
cylinder valve before disconnecting.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders
with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one
immediately.
• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak-tested each time
the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.
• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it
will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, insects etc.
