• Perform a leak test before lighting your grill for the first time.
• Perform a leak test if any gas component is changed.
• Perform a leak test after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads.
• Perform a leak test a minimum of once a season.
• Perform a leak test after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
• Perform leak tests in a well ventilated area.
• Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks.
• Never smoke near the grill during a leak test.
• Do not perform a leak test on a grill while it is hot or in use.
• Do not use the gas grill if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedures.
