LEAK CHECK PREPARATION

Check that all Burner Valves are Off
Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you should check to be sure that they are
turned off . Check by pushing down and turning clockwise . If they do not turn, they are off .
If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off .
The Liquid Propane Tank
All Weber liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-Listed tank
®
connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21 .58 . This will require a liquid propane
tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve . This Type 1
coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and
your liquid propane tank . It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is
not properly tightened . Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully
engaged into the coupling .
m WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank valve is closed. Close
by turning valve clockwise.
m 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 flames will result in a fire or
explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death,
and damage to property.
