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 mis-
handling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodi-
cally check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

1) Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner tie-down
straps.
2) Do not smoke while leak testing.
3) Never leak test with an open flame.
4) Make a soap solution with one part liquid detergent and another part water.
Prepare a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the connections. For the ini
tial leak test, make sure the LP cylinder is full.
5) Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources
such as gas fired or electrical appliances, and flammable materials.
6) Keep grill away from open flames and/or sparks while testing.
TO TEST
1) Make sure all control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
2) Make sure the regulator is connected to the LP tank tightly.
3) Completely open LP tank valve by turning counter clockwise. If you hear a "POP" sound,
turn gas off IMMEDIATELY, as it indicates a heavy leak at the connection. Call your gas
dealer or fire department.
4) Check every connection from the LP tank up to and including the connection to the mani-
fold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the soapy
solution on the connections.
5) If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY and retight-
en connections, Open LP tank valve again, and recheck.
6) If leaks cannot be stopped, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. Call our service center at
(888)-287-0735 for help.
7) Always close the LP tank valve after leak testing by turning clockwise.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitu-
tion will void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and
do not leak.
