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.
