Preparation For Use - Leak Testing - Pit Boss PB2BGD2, PB3BGD2, PB4BGD2, PB5BGD2 Owner's Manual

3. If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
5. The LP gas cylinder used must have a collar to protect the gas cylinder valve.
6. Always keep the LP cylinder at 90 degrees (upright) orientation to provide vapor withdrawl.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low
volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise
is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill.
PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas griddle, perform a leak test on the connection
between the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test
should be performed a minimum of once a season, as well as:
• before lighting your griddle for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST
Supplies Required:
1 x Bowl ( empty, clean )
Paint Brush ( clean )
1 x
Dish Washing Liquid
Water
Procedure:
1. Position the griddle in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the griddle is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the
regulator value is turned to the OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make bubble,
as it will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for
streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten
only. Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas griddle if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak
test procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Care for alternative measures of testing
to ensure proper precaution.
