LEAK TESTING THE REGULATOR, VALVES, HOSES, AND CONNECTIONS
1.
Ensure the LP cylinder valve and all burners are “Off”.
2.
Ensure the LP cylinder is connected to the regulator.
3.
Mix up a solution of 50% water and 50% liquid dish soap. Do not use any household cleaner
solution.
4.
Open the LP tank valve by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise one turn. If you hear a rushing
sound, turn the gas off immediately. In that case, there could be a leak at the connection. Reconnect
the cylinder to the regulator.
5.
Spray or brush on the solution covering the following areas: cylinder welds, regulator and cylinder
connection, gas hose connections to the regulator, all gas hoses, all gas hose connections to the
burners including the main and side burners.
6.
Growing bubbles on any of the parts and connections listed above indicate a gas leak. Immediately
shut off the LP tank valve by turning the valve clockwise. Retighten the connections or order
replacement parts as needed. Continue to test as necessary until no leaks are detected.
7.
Close the LP tank valve by turning the hand wheel clockwise.
! WARNING
!
1.
Do not connect this grill to any unregulated sources of propane.
2.
Protect the regulator fitting from damage when disconnected. A damaged regulator fitting may
result in a gas leak when connected to a LP cylinder.
3.
Inspect the gas hose before each use. Replace the hose assembly before use if you notice any
fraying, cracking, or excessive wear.
4.
Always perform the Leak Test listed below before using your grill for the first time, if the cylinder
has been changed, any gas components have been changed, the regulator flow- limiting device has
been activated, or after a long period of non- use.
5.
Do not attempt to connect this grill to the LP system of a motor home or trailer.
Center this nipple of the
regulator into the cylinder
valve.
The regulator must enter the
cylinder valve in a straight
line.
! WARNING !
1.
DO NOT USE THE GRILL
if you cannot stop the leaks. Be sure the LP cylinder valve is closed. If
the LP cylinder is still leaking, contact your LP dealer or local fire department.
2.
Do not use any match or open flame, or smoke, during leak testing.
3.
Do not light a burner during leak testing.
