What is a Leak Check?
Once the cartridge is properly installed, it is necessary
to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to
verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the tank.
The fuel system in your barbecue features factory-made
connections that have been thoroughly checked for gas
leaks and the burners have been flame-tested. WEBER
recommends performing a thorough leak check after
assembly, as well as every time you disconnect and
reconnect a gas fitting. The following fittings should be
tested:
•Where the cartridge connects to the regulator.
•Where the regulator connects to the regulator hose.
•Where the regulator hose connects to the valve.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing
it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position (A).
2) Turn gas supply on by turning the regulator gas control
valve anticlockwise (B).
3) Wet fittings (C) with a soap and water solution, using a
spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own soap
and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80%
water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the
plumbing section of any hardware store.
4) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cartridge (D), remove the
cartridge. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Install
a different cartridge and recheck for leaks with a
soap and water solution. If the leak persists, remove
the cartridge. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.

area using the contact information on our website.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (E) or burner valve (F),
turn off the gas. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE
REGULATOR. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.

area using the contact information on our website.

m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the barbecue if there
is a gas leak present.
m DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of
gas escaping from the liquid propane tank:
1) Move away from liquid propane tank.
2) Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3) Call your fire brigade.
m IMPORTANT: We recommend that you replace
the gas hose assembly on your gas barbecue
every five years. Some countries may have
requirements that the gas hose be replaced
within less than five years, in which case that
country's requirement would take precedence.
For replacement hose, regulator, and valve
assemblies, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our web site.
