NEVER store a spare L.P. tank under or near grill or in an enclosed area.
NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full. An overfilled spare L.P. tank is dangerous because surplus gas
may leak from safety relief valve. The safety relief valve on a L.P. tank could activate to release gas and
cause a fire.
The spare L.P. tank must have safety caps installed on the L.P. tank outlet.
If any gas leak found on the spare L.P. tank, immediately go away from it and call the fire department.
VERY IMPORTANT: DISCONNECTED THE TANK WHEN THIS GRILL IS NOT IN USE.
To disconnect L.P. gas tank:
Turn all the knobs off.
Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
Detach the regulator assembly from tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
Install the protective cap back L.P. tank valve.
LEAK TESTING
ERA
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or
excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for
leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TEST
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner tie-down
straps.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a soap solution with one part liquid detergent and one part water. Prepare a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the connections. For the initial leak test, make sure the L.P.
cylinder is full.
Grill must be leak tested outdoors in well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as
gas fired or electrical appliances, and flammable materials.
Keep grill away from open flames and/or sparks while testing.
TO TEST
•
Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
•
Make sure the regulator is connected to the L.P. tank tightly.
•
Completely open L.P. tank valve by turning counter clockwise. If you hear a “POP” sound, turn gas
off IMMEDIATELY, it indicates a heavy leak at the connection. Call your gas dealer or fire
department.
•
Check every connection from the L.P. tank up to and including the connection to the manifold pipe
assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the soapy solution on the
connections.
•
If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off L.P. tank valve IMMEDIATELY and retighten
connections, Open L.P. tank valve again, and recheck.
Always close the L.P. tank valve after leak test by turning clockwise.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void
the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
