LEAK TESTING
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 whole system for leaks
following the procedures listed below. If the
smell of gas is detected at anytime you should
immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed
from the grill including the burner tie-down
straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN
OPEN FLAME.
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 L.P. cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF”
position, and turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the LP gas
regulator and supply valve up to and including
the connection to the manifold pipe assembly
(the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap
bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the
gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of
the fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact
customer service at 1-800-537-8484.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use
the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
