• Perform a leak test after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads.
• Perform a leak test a minimum of once a season.
• Perform a leak test after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
• Perform leak tests in a well ventilated area.
• Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks.
• Never smoke near the grill during a leak test.
• Do not perform a leak test on a grill while it is hot or in use.

HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST - "First Time Use"
Supplies Needed for a Leak Test:
• Clean paint brush, water, dish washing liquid, empty clean bowl or can for
solution.
1. Make sure the regulator knob is turned to the "Off" position and verify that the
LP Gas Cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
2. Mix one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid.
3. Brush mix on Regulator, Propane Cylinder and connection as indicated by the
heavy arrows in the figure below. If "growing" bubbles appear, there is a gas
leak.
• If the leak appears at the regulator/cylinder connection, repeat cylinder
installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. (Note: Only hand tighten)
Repeat Leak Test..
