LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must be
performed at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the
procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use
.
Do not use the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak. Do not smoke while leak testing. Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or
rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the Liquid Propane cylinder is
full.
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply “OFF” and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back “ON” and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply “OFF” and contact
customer service at 1-877-323-5263.
7. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
outdoor cooking gas appliance being put into operation.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitutions will void
the warranty.
INSTALLER FINAL CHECK
•
Maintain specified clearance of 24 inches from combustible materials and construction.
•
All internal packaging has been removed.
•
The hose and regulator are properly connected to the Liquid Propane cylinder.
•
The unit has been tested and is free of leaks.
•
The gas supply shutoff valve has been located.
•
All burners are installed.

Keep the instruction manual for future reference.
WARNING
1. Do not store spare Liquid Propane cylinders under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent capacity.
3. If the information in item 1&2 is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
WARNING
1. The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 1/2-in.PSI (3.5kpa).
2. The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressure equal to or less than 1/2-in.PSI (3.5kpa).
WARNING
Do not store grill indoors unless the cylinder is disconnected. Do not store cylinder in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area, and keep area, and keep out of reach of children at all times.
