Leak Test Procedure - Coleman REVOLUTION II Safe Use & Care Manual

LEAK TEST PROCEDURE

WARNING
Never use your barbecue without leak testing all gas connections, hoses and LP gas cylinder.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
•
DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
•
Perform test OUTDOORS in a well ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
•
Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
•
Never perform a leak test while the barbecue is in use or while barbecue is still hot.
When to perform a leak test:
•
After assembling your barbecue and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.
•
Every time LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected or replaced.
•
Any time your barbecue has been moved.
•
At least once per year or if your barbecue has not been used for more than 60 days.
Checking for leaks:
NOTE
: The leak test must be performed in an area with adequate lighting to observe any developing bubbles. Avoid windy
or noisy areas so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Open the lid.
3. Ensure all control knobs are set to "OFF".
4. Brush or spray soapy water solution onto all connections shown.
5. Slowly open the LP gas cylinder shut-off valve by turning the hand
wheel counterclockwise.
WARNING
If you hear a rushing sound or smell gas, turn gas off. Tighten any leaking
connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not
stop leak, reinspect propane LP gas cylinder rubber seal.
6. Check each location listed (A–J) for growing bubbles, which indicates a
leak. Large leaks may not be detected by bubbles but should produce a
rushing sound or gas smell.
7. Turn off the gas supply at cylinder valve.
8. Tighten any leaking connections. If a leak is detected at the connection
nut and tightening does not stop leak, reinspect propane LP gas
cylinder rubber seal (see page 6).
9. Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
10. Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve until you are ready to use your
barbecue.
11. Wash off soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
12. Wait 5 minutes to allow all gas to evacuate area before lighting the
barbecue.
WARNING
DO NOT use barbecue if leaks cannot be stopped.
