After assembling or converting your natural gas grill and before lighting for the first time, even if
purchased fully assembled.
•
Any time the gas components are replaced.
•
Any time your grill has been moved.
•
At least once per year or if your grill has not been used for more than 60 days.

•
Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on
“Leak Testing” in this manual for proper procedures.
•
Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear or
deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your grill. Only the manufacturer's
supplied replacement should be used.
