Opd Equipped Cylinder; Hose & Regulator - OMC Broil King Regal S 420 PRO Mode D'emploi

OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER

OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
1. The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI
Z21.58/ CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that appliances be used
with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention
Device (OPD).
2. 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
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
device and its effect on the purge/fill operation.
3. New OPDs coming onto the market have technology
that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will
decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.
IDENTIFICATION
To identify these cylinders, the OPD hand wheel has
been standardized to the shape shown.
HOSE & REGULATOR
1. All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a
QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
2. 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.
3. 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° and 300°F. Should this occur,
do not attempt to reconnect the hand wheel. Remove
hose/regulator assembly and replace with a new one.
4. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC
(water column) and is for use with LP gas only. The
hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard
CAN 1.83. No modifications or substitutions should be
attempted.
5. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not
allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the
base casting of the barbecue.
6. Inspect the seal in the QCC® cylinder valve
when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year
whichever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is
any indication of cracks, creases, or abrasion.
7. Inspect the hose before each use. If the hose is
cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the
appliance must not be operated.
8. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator
assembly, contact customer service.
CONNECTION
1. Be sure cylinder valve and appliance valves are "OFF."
2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP tank well and secure
base as per assembly instructions.
3. Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place.
Using 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 parallel with the cylinder valve, so as not to cross
thread the connection.
4. Leak test connections. See "Leak Testing." (Page 5)
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating
the Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open
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.
DISCONNECTION
Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut
before moving cylinder from specified operation position.
