LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
»
Although all gas connections to 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
applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING
»
Make sure all packaging has been removed
»
Do Not smoke while testing
»
Never leak test with an open flame
The outdoor gas appliance (grill, side burners, wok) and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system in excess of 1/2” PSI (3.5 kPa).
The outdoor gas appliance (grill, side burners, wok) must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).
Make a soap and water solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush or rag,
to apply solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. Leak check the regulator to tank connections with
a soap and water solution before operating.
TO TEST
WARNING:
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and DO NOT leak.
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from the supply
line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the solution around the connection, valve, and
tubing. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is detected, immediately turn “OFF” the gas supply, and
tighten any leaking fittings. Turn gas “ON” and recheck.
If a gas leak is present, and you cannot stop the leak, immediately turn “OFF” the gas supply and call your local gas sup-
plier or installer who installed the appliance. Only authorized factory parts, or parts recommended by the manufacturer
should be used on the grill.
NOTE: Substitution of Parts Will Void The Warranty!
NOTE: Always check for leaks after EVERY LP tank change.
IMPORTANT
»
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off
valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles will indicate where leaks are located.
»
The disconnected LP cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area. The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder when the unit is not in use.
»
If the grill is stored indoors, the cylinder MUST BE disconnected and removed from the grill. Cylinders must be
stored outdoors in well ventilated areas, out of the reach of children and pets.
