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 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
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.
Turn the gas supply on. Check all connections from
the L.P. cylinder up to and including the connection to
the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the
burners). Use the soap solution and spray or brush it
onto all of these connections.
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

Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a
leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply,
tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and recheck.
Should the gas continue to leak from any or all of the
fittings, turn off the gas supply, and contact our
customer service.
