1. Be sure both cooktop burner valves are in the Off position.
2. Make sure the gas tank valve is off and in the closed position by turning clockwise (left to
right) to a full stop.
3. Remove the protective cap from the gas cylinder valve.
4. Hold the supplied regulator in one hand and position the plastic coupling nut on the cylinder
valve outlet threads using care to engage the center of the coupling nut to the center of the
cylinder valve outlet. When completing this procedure, take care to not cross-thread the
connection.
5. Observe the direction in Figure 1 and Figure 2 for installing the regulator threads to the
cylinder valve. For a Standard POL Regulator turn the coupling nut counterclockwise (right
to left) and tighten to a full stop. For the Quick Disconnect Regulator turn the coupling nut
clockwise (left to right) and tighten to a full stop.
In the connection process, the regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the cylinder
valve resulting in a slight resistance. The connection requires about a 1/2 to 3/4 additional turn
to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools. If you cannot make the
connection, disconnect the regulator and repeat steps 4 and 5.
If the unit is not in use, gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. Inspect hoses before
each use of the unit. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut,
it must be replaced prior to the unit being put into operation. Regulator and hose assembly
can be purchased from Evo by calling 866-626-1802 or from a local gas supply company.
Specifi cations for these parts are:
• LP Regulator: 90 degree w/ 3/8” Female SAE Inlet
• LP Hose: 60” Type #1 Low Pressure
Use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your Evo cooktop.
Recommended LP propane cylinder is a standard 5 gallon, 20 Lb., with a shutoff
valve terminating in a cylinder valve outlet specifi ed and an (OPD) overfl ow
prevention device valve, compliant to current DOT specifi cations. If the cylinder is
fi tted with a Type I Cylinder Connection Device, a protective dust cap must be installed
on the valve outlet.
