GAS INSTALLATION AND
LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
CONNECTION OF A GAS CYLINDER TO THE
BARBECUE IS AS FOLLOWS
The hose assembly connection to the appliance is
fitted by the manufacturer.
1. Attach the regulator to the gas cylinder by
tightening the wing nut on the regulator firmly by
hand.
2.
Attach the hose to the inlet of the barbecue and
tighten it with a spanner.
3.
Once connected, leak test the connections by
brushing a solution of soapy water around the
joints and gas cylinder valve.

Turn off the gas supply and tighten or re-seal
the connection.
Leak test the connections again.
There must be no naked flames in the area
when connecting the barbecue to a gas
supply.
The thread is left handed, which means it is
opposite to normal.
You must have the control knobs in the off
position and have the gas supply on at the
cylinder valve to leak test. If bubbles appear
around the connections you have a leak.
