Disconnecting
the LP Gas Tank
1.
Turn all grill control knobs to the "off" position.
2.
Turn the LP tank valve to the "off/closed"
position (turn clockwise
until it stops).
3.
Detach the regulator
assembly
from tank valve by turning
the quick coupling
nut
counterclockwise.
4.
Place the dust cap on the 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, as other
types of caps or plugs may result in gas leakage.
Checking
for Leaks
Although
all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory
prior to shipment,
a complete gas
tightness
check
must be performed
at the installation
site due to possible
mishandling
in shipment,
or
excessive
pressure
unknowingly
being applied
to the unit.
Periodically
check
the whole
system
for
leaks, or immediately
check if the smell of gas is detected.
Important
Leak Testing
Guidelines
1.
Make
sure
that all packing
material
is removed
from the grill,
including
the
burner
tie-down
straps.
2.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
3.
Never leak test with an open flame.
4.
Make a soap solution
using one part liquid detergent
and one part water.
Use a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution
to the connections.
For the initial leak test, make sure the LP
cylinder
is full.
5.
The grill must be leak tested
outdoors
in well-ventilated
area, away from ignition
sources
such
as gas-fired
or electrical
appliances,
and flammable
materials.

Keep the grill away from open flames
and/or sparks while testing.

knobs are in the "off" position.

as this sound indicates
a heavy leak at the connection.
Call your
LP gas dealer or fire department.
4.
Check
every connection
from the LP tank up to and including
the connection
to the manifold
pipe assembly
(the pipe that goes to the burner)
by brushing
or spraying
the soapy solution
on
the connections.

there is a leak. Turn off the LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY
and retighten
connections.

the LP tank valve again, and recheck.

or Team Grill customer
service for help.

close the LP tank valve after testing
