GAS HOOK-UP
valve, hand tighten the nut clockwise to a
complete stop. Do not use a wrench to
tighten. Use of a wrench may damage the
quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous
condition.
6. Open the tank valve fully
(counterclockwise). Use a soapy water
solution to check all connections for leaks
before attempting to light the grill, see
below. If a leak is found, turn the tank valve
off and do not use the grill until a local L.P.
gas dealer can make repairs.
To disconnect L.P. gas cylinder:
1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the tank valve off fully (turn
clockwise to stop).
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the
tank valve by turning the quick coupling
nut counterclockwise.

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 .
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
LEAK TESTING
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.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use
the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
