DANGER:

 

To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak: 

1.  Always perform the “leak test“ below before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use. 
2.  Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.   
3.  Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area. 
4.  Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks. 
5.  Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas 

appliance service or your local propane gas supplier. 

 

Checking for Leaks

 

1.  Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water. 
2.  Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position. 
3.  Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection.   

(See diagram to right.) 

4.  Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection   

is secure.                                                                         

5.  If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Go to step 6. 
6.  Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is tight and secured. 
7.  Retest with solution. 
8.  If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
