Notice for all Propane Gas
Users
All new
small propane cylinders with a capacity of 4 pounds to 40 pounds are required to have overfilling prevention devices (OPDs)
and all small cylinders without OPDs cannot be
refilled.
OPDs are intended to be a
secondary means to protect against the overfilling of cylinders.
The primary methods are filling by weight using a scale or
filling volumetrically using the fixed maximum liquid-level
gauge.
When purchasing a new cylinder,
be sure it is labeled OPD compliant.
Please make sure you carefully read the directions on how to connect your tank
to your grill. You always need to test the connections to ensure there is
no leakage of propane which can cause an explosion.
Always turn your propane tank OFF when you finish using the grill.
