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 any time 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
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.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipment; however, variations in
the local gas supply may make it necessary to
adjust the burners. The flames of the burners
should be visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or
burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding
flame stability, please call customer service
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER
EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks
before each use. It is handy to keep a
spray bottle of soapy water near the
shut-off valve of the gas supply line.
Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate
leaks.
