LEAK TEST
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 entire system for leaks following the procedures listed below. Before using
your grill you must check for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner 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 LP
gas cylinder is full.
WARNING
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CONDUCTING LEAK TEST.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the appliance being operational. The replacement hose shall be
specified the by manufacturer.
