TEST PROCEDURE
1.
Visually inspect all hoses
before each use. If there is
excessive abrasion, wear, or
cutting, replace the hoses
before further use. Replace
defective hoses only with those
specified by the manufacturer.
2.
Be sure that the valve is in the off
position.
3.
Be sure that the propane canister is
correctly and securely connected to
the regulator, but do not over-
tighten.
4.
Using a small paint brush,
spread a thin coating of the
soap/water solution onto the
following connections:
Propane Canister - Regulator
Regulator - Gas Supply Hose
Gas Supply Hose - Valve Inlet
Valve Outlet - Gas Delivery Hose
5.
If the soap/water solution bubbles
there is a leak. Immediately
disconnect the propane canister and
check connections. Reconnect the
propane canister and repeat the test.
6.
If the soap/water solution
continues to bubble,
remove the canister and
replace the defective
parts before using grill.
