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
1-800-4-MY-HOME

.
4 .Brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown in
picture below:
Hold coupling nut and regulator
as shown for proper connection

to LP tank valve.
Never remove threaded
orifice at end of valve.
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!

DANGER
• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve
outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve
and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in
explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank
valve immediately and retighten connections. If leaks cannot be
stopped do not try to repair. Call for replacement
parts at 1-800-4-MY-HOME

6. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by
turning hand wheel clockwise.
