Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use, and retain it for future reference.

2. Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning, which could cause property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Always ensure all connections are tight and leak-free before operating the grill. Use a soapy water solution to check for leaks. Bubbles indicate a leak.

• Keep the hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

• Mounting Bracket (for grill attachment)

4. Setup and Installation

This kit allows your Napoleon TravelQ 285 Series grill to operate directly from your RV's low-pressure propane quick-connect port, bypassing the grill's original regulator.

4.1 Preparing the Grill

1. Ensure your TravelQ 285 Series grill is cool and disconnected from any propane cylinders.
2. Locate the existing regulator and propane cylinder connection on your grill. This adaptor kit requires the removal of the grill's original regulator.
3. Carefully unscrew and remove the grill's original regulator assembly.
4. Attach the provided grill adaptor fitting to the grill's gas inlet. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to secure it firmly, ensuring a gas-tight seal. Do not overtighten.
5. If desired, use the included mounting bracket to secure the new fitting to the grill for added stability. Refer to your grill's specific instructions for bracket placement.

4.2 Connecting to the RV

1. Ensure the RV's propane supply is turned off at the tank.
2. Locate the low-pressure quick-connect port on your RV.
3. Connect the quick-connect end of the 6-foot flexible hose to the RV's quick-connect port. Push the collar back, insert the fitting, and release the collar to lock it in place. Pull gently to ensure it is secure.
4. Connect the other end of the hose to the grill adaptor fitting previously installed on your TravelQ 285 Series grill. Hand-tighten until snug.
5. Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the propane supply at the RV tank.
6. Perform a leak test: Apply a soapy water solution to all connections. If bubbles appear, turn off the propane supply, tighten the connection, and re-test. Do not operate the grill if a leak is detected.

5. Operating Instructions

With the RV Adaptor Kit installed and connections verified leak-free, your TravelQ 285 Series grill is ready for use with your RV's propane supply.

1. Ensure the RV propane supply is turned on.
2. Open the grill lid.
3. Turn the grill burner control knob(s) to the HIGH position.
4. Press the igniter button repeatedly until the burner ignites. If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn off the control knob(s), wait 5 minutes, and repeat the ignition procedure.
5. Once ignited, adjust the burner control knob(s) to the desired cooking temperature.
6. After use, turn off the grill burner control knob(s), then turn off the propane supply at the RV tank, and disconnect the quick-connect hose.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your RV Adaptor Kit.

• Cleaning: Wipe the hose and fittings with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for cuts, abrasions, kinks, or excessive wear. Check fittings for damage or corrosion. Replace the hose immediately if any damage is observed.
• Storage: When not in use, disconnect the hose from both the RV and the grill. Store the hose in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid kinking the hose during storage.
