Leak Testing
All joints and connections must now be leak tested before using the barbecue. Leak test annually,
and whenever the gas bottle is removed or replaced. Always perform a leak test in a well-
ventilated area.
Step 1 -
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position.
Step 2 -
Detach the barbecue control panel located across the front of the barbecue body by pulling off
the control knobs and removing the control panel retaining screws.
Step 3 -
Turn the gas on / open the gas control valve on the gas bottle or regulator.
Step 4 -
Check for leaks by brushing a solution of ½ water and ½ liquid detergent / soap over all
the gas system joints, including all valve connections, hose connections, and regulator
connections.
Step 5
- NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at any time.
Step 6 -
If bubbles form over any of the joints there is a leak
Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle
Retighten all joints
Repeat test
If bubbles form again do not use the barbecue and contact your local Outback distributor for
assistance.
Always wipe the mixed solution (½ water and ½ liquid detergent / soap) from all joints and
connections after leak testing.
