LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must be performed
at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using 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 all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use
.
Do not use the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak. Do not smoke while leak testing. Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a 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 Liquid Propane cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valves “OFF”.
2. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply “OFF” and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back “ON” and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply “OFF” and contact customer
service at 1-877-323-5263.
7. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
outdoor cooking gas appliance being put into operation.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitutions will void the
warranty.
