ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY L.P.
TANK CHANGE
Your grill is ready to use!
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 indicate leaks.

GENERAL
BEFORE TESTING
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
TO TEST
GAS FLOW CHECK
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the
factory prior to shipment, a complete gas leak test 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 following the
procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime
you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill
including tie-down straps.
Make a soap 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 L.P.
cylinder is 80% full.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be
used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all
connections have been checked and do not leak.
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to
shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it
necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners should
be visually checked. Flames should be blue and stable with no
yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions
exist, check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by
dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding
flame stability, please call customer service at 1-866-206-0888.
Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF” position, and turn
on the gas supply.
Check all connections from the L.P. gas regulator and supply
valve up to and including the connection to the manifold pipe
assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap bubbles will
appear where a leak is present.
If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply If a leak
is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the
leaky fittings.
Turn the gas back on and recheck.
Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off
the gas supply and contact customer service at 1-866-206-0888
