LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on 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 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.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed
from the grill including the burner tie-down
straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN
OPEN FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid
detergent and one part water. You will need a
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use
the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
GAS FLOW CHECK
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 1-800-913-8999.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER
EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE
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.
spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution
to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make
sure the L.P. cylinder is full.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF”
position. Turn the gas supply on. Check all
connections from the L.P. cylinder 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, tighten any leaking fittings,
turn gas on, and recheck. Should the gas
continue to leak from any or all of the fittings,
turn off the gas supply, and contact our
customer service at 1-800-913-8999.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Disconnected L.P. 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 appliance is stored indoors the
cylinder must be disconnected and
removed from the appliance. Cylinders
must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of the reach of
children.
