Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator
1. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning OPD hand
wheel counterclockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn
gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the
connection. Correct before proceeding by calling Sears
for replacement parts at 1-844-553-6667.
4 .Brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown
in picture below:
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP tank valve,
resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three-quarters
turn is required to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only -
do not use tools.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and
repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection,
do not use this regulator!
Call 1-844-553-6667 for an identical replacement part.
DANGER
