If it is determined that the Winntec Model 6020 LP Regulator must be removed and replaced in accordance with this recall, you must perform the following:

(1) Close the LP bottles and unscrew the pigtails from the LP bottles.

(2) Remove the regulator from the unit.

(3) Attach the new regulator to the unit.
