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
cylinder is full.
WARNING
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CONDUCTING LEAK TEST.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If it is evident that there is excessive abrasion, wear or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. The replacement hose must
be specified by the manufacturer.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the
OFF
position
then turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the gas cylinder, LP gas
regulator and supply valve up to and including all
connections to the pipe that go to the burners. The
following are the points where the soap-water mixture is
to be applied. Soap bubbles will appear if a leak is
present.
A Supply tank (cylinder) weld.
B Connection nut to tank valve.
C Back side of connection nut to brass nipple.
D Brass nipple connections to gas supply hoses.
E Regulator connections to gas supply hose.
F The full length of gas supply hose.
G Tank valve to cylinder.
H Control knob and control valve pin.
I Connections of hose and manifold.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and
tighten the leaky fittings.
