LEAK TESTING ─ GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak
tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must
be performed at the installation site. Before each
use, check all gas connections for leaks using the
procedures listed below.
DANGER
If the smell of gas is detected at any time,
immediately shut off your grill and turn off
the propane cylinder. After the grill is cool,
check the entire system for leaks by following
the leak testing steps.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been
removed from the grill, including the burner tie-
down straps.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and
one part water. You will need a spray bottle and a
brush or rag to apply the solution to the fittings.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before
each use. Do not use the grill until all
connections have been checked and do not
leak. Do not smoke while leak testing. Never
leak test with an open flame.
WARNING
• The grill and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of this
system at a test pressure in excess of 1/2-
in.PSI (3.5kpa).
• The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at a test pressure equal to or
less than 1/2-in.PSI (3.5kpa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve
counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap
bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas
supply "OFF" and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back "ON" and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the
fittings, turn the gas supply "OFF" and contact
customer service at 1-888-287-0735.
7. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion, wear,
or hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to
operating and verified that all connections have
been checked.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitutions will void the warranty.
WARNING
• Do not store the grill indoors unless the
cylinder is disconnected. Do not store the
cylinder in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area. Always keep the grill and
propane cylinder out of reach from children.
• Do not store the spare Liquid Propane
cylinders under or near this appliance.
•
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent
capacity.
• If the information above is not followed
exactly, a fire may occur, causing serious
injury or death.
