Step 13
Check for gas leaks
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. This 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 you should
recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber
Genesis Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may
have loosened or damaged 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.
Note - Since some leaks test solutions, including soap
and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections
should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
To perform leak checks: Slide back the collar of the
quick disconnect. Push male fitting of the hose into the
quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Figure 14 (a).
Slide the collar closed. Figure 14 (b). If it does not
engage or lock, repeat procedure. Gas will not flow
unless the quick disconnect is properly engaged.
