LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only those
reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and
certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the "LP Tank" section of this
manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to grill.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or
refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away
from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances.
During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution.
Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure
below. Leaks are indicated by growing bubbles.
WARNING
If "growing" bubbles appear do not use or move the LP
tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
▲Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to the gas
train components (valve/hose/regulator) can result.
