For Your Safety - Blackstone 1565 Guide Du Propriétaire

LP Tank Exchange
•
Many retailers offer you the option of replacing your
empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use
only those reputable exchange companies that
inspect, precision fill, test and certify their tanks.
Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety fea-
ture-equipped tank as described in the "LP Tank"
section of this manual.
•
Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in
upright position during use, transit or storage.
•
Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
•
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of
dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is pro-
vided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
LP Tank Leak Test

For your safety

•
Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is
exchanged or refilled.
•
Do not smoke during leak test.
•
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
•
Griddle must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilat-
ed area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired
or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep griddle
away from open flames or sparks.
•
Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas
indicated by arrows in figure below. Leaks are
indicated by growing bubbles.
WARNING
!
If "growing" bubbles appear do not use or move
the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your

Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank
1.

(Refer to assembly section.)
2.
Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel
clockwise to a full stop.
4.
Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve.
Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.
Do not insert a POL transport
plug (plastic part with external
threads) into the Type 1 tank
valve outlet. It will defeat the

Hand-tighten the coupling nut, hold-
ing regulator in a straight line with
LP tank valve so as not to cross
thread the connection.
