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 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 80% 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 1-800-790-1299.
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 1-800-790-1299 .
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.
