LEAK TESTING
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 LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
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 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 center.
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.
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 dirt, debris, spider webs, etc block the air
shutter or burner ports.
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.
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.
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.
