DANGER:
DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during leak test.
If a leak is present, the gas could ignite and result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always check for gas
leaks any time the LP gas cylinder is disconnected
and then reconnected.
STEP 16: TESTING VALVES, HOSE, AND REGU-
LATOR FOR LEAKS
See Figure 25.
Connections on the hose and regulator were tested at the
factory to ensure no gas leaks were present. However, ship-
ping and handling could loosen connections. As a safety
precaution:
Turn all control knobs on the control panel off.
Make sure the regulator is properly connected to the LP
gas cylinder.
To open the cylinder valve: turn handwheel counterclock-
wise.
If you hear a rushing sound, immediately turn off the
cylinder valve. This sound means there is a major leak at
the connection. Correct the problem before proceeding.
