Check for gas leaks

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.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the
tank valve handwheel anticlockwise.
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.
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.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak
checking.
