(cont.)
How to Check for Leaks
1. Make a soapy solution of equal parts mild liquid dishwashing
detergent and water.
2. Turn off all burner control knobs.
3. Turn on fuel supply. Turn cylinder valve knob counterclockwise
(right to left) one rotation.
4. Apply soap solution to connections indicated with arrows in
Fig. 16. If bubbles appear at these areas, a leak is indicated.

Fixing A Fuel Leak
If you detect a leak:
1. Turn off the fuel supply. Push in and turn on control knobs
to release pressure in hose, then turn the control knobs back
to OFF.
2. Wash off soapy solutions with cold water and towel dry.
3. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint, or by replacing the
faulty part with a replacement part recommended by Coleman.
DO NOT attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it should
become damaged; the cylinder MUST be replaced.
4. If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the
cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call a gas
appliance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. DO NOT use grill
until the leak is corrected.
When to test for leaks:
1. Perform a leak test each time the gas supply cylinder is
connected to the regulator. Leak test anytime a part of
the gas system is replaced.
2. Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the L.P.
gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.
3. Have a dealer check the cylinder for deterioration after 12
years, according to DOT regulations. Immediately replace
cylinder if any deterioration is found.
CAUTION
Inspect the gas supply hoses before each use. If there are
cuts, damage, excessive abrasion or wear, replace the hoses
prior to operating the appliance. During assembly of grill and
when attaching or replacing the L.P. gas cylinder, insure that
all gas supply hoses are free of kinks and/or damage and are
at least 3" away from hot surfaces such as the grill housing.
Use only hose replacements specified in the parts list.
Start-Up Check List
WARNING
Failure to follow these safety steps before using grill each
time could result in a fire that could be hazardous to you, your
appliance or property. It is especially important to observe
these steps after the grill has been stored, moved or cleaned.
1. Regularly check burner venturi tubes for blockage from an
insect nest. Read "Cleaning the Venturi" on pg. 16 and
"Troubleshooting" on pg. 17.
2. Check that all burner venturi [H] are set over the valve
outlets [J] correctly. The valve orifice [K] must be inside the
venturi. (Fig. 17)
3. Inspect the gas supply hoses before each use. Hoses can
be burned or chafed if they are routed improperly. See that
hoses have no kinks, sharp bends or tension. Insure that
hoses are at least 3 inches away from any hot surface.
4. Use only the gas specified.
5. Keep the grill on a level surface.
6. Keep grease pan empty at start up.
