CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure
there are no sparks
or open flames
in the area while you
check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or
explosion,
which can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
WARNING: You should
check for gas leaks every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Note: All factory-made
connections
have been thoroughly
checked
for gas leaks. The
burners have been flame-tested.
As a safety precaution
however,
you should recheck
all fittings for leaks before using your Weber _ Gas Barbecue.
Shipping
and handling
may loosen or damage a gas fitting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your
barbecue
was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.
Note: Since some leak test solutions,
including
soap and water, may be slightly
corrosive, all connections
should be rinsed with water after checking
for leaks.
If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is off.
To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve hand-
wheel counterclockwise.
WARNING:
Do not ignite burners
when leak checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections
with the soap and water solution and
watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
