property damage.

 A disconnected LP tank that is in storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed.

Do not store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or

other building. Never leave an LP tank inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the

sun.

The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder

valve. A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder must be

provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or overheated which could result

in fire or explosion.

 All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in accordance with

the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the

National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation

 Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to fill or repair your LP gas supply cylinder.

 Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled.

 After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief valve remains free to

function.
