OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
TO CHECK FOR A LEAK

dish-washing detergent and three parts water).
2. Apply several drops of solution where regulator
connects to cylinder and to all hose and valve
connections.
3. Make sure all patio heater and light valves are
OFF.
4. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a
leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF
2. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection:
Disconnect, reconnect, and perform another
leak check. Apply the soapy solution to all hose
and valve connections.
3. If you continue to see bubbles after several
attempts, cylinder valve is defective and should
be returned to cylinder’s place of purchase.
If leak is at hose/regulator connection: This part is
defective and you should contact the customer
service department for replacement.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the
connections are secure.
